Ok, I'm finally back working on my ZPatterns projects, and I'm sorry 
to say that this is still broken. Earlier today I created and 
populated a Specialist using Zope 2.3.2 and ZPatterns 0.4.3b2. Then I 
upgraded to ZPatterns 0.4.3p1, verified that line 421 in Rack.py 
reads 'getItem(k)' and packed the Rack. All data disappeared.

Not nice... what's going on? Am I using an unsupported/untested 
setup? I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have to use 2.3.3, everything else 
in 2.3.2 works fine and I think the new BTrees have been around since 
2.3.
