Man, you are short of time ;-)

That's a shame, you should be able to use something similar though...

Yep :-)

I don't have Wing, so I can't try WingDbg, but if you could stick zdb 
and WingDbg in the same Zope instance and see what zdb is stomping on 
that's stopping WingDbg working, then I'll see what I can do..

Well, zdb adds overhead, so I'd never want its stuff to be intergated...
