Alas, that's not possible. Not only have I never downloaded ZODB4, but
my /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages contains only what ZODB3 put
there, as I had to install 2.2.2 in order to make ZODB 3.1 work...

Cool, I figured there was a setuid in there someplace. This should at
least get me further in the test... if something else fails, I'll post
it here.
