[Zope] A persistent problem -- monkey patch related?

[Dennis Allison]

The observed behavior (as always, transient and irreproducable from test
cases) is that the contents of a PersitentMapping object disappears.  The
underlying structure is a PersistentMapping of PersistentMappings of
User objects.  My understanding is that the PersistentMapping wrapper
handles the black magic properly.  As for the perilious modification of 
mutable attributes, I am certainly aware of the issue--in fact, that's why
I am so concerned about the monkey patch issue as it is in the monkey
patch code that the PersistentMapping constructor is called, etc.
