Title:
  monkey patching 'debug' breaks twisted.internet.base.DelayedCall

Status in testtools:
  Triaged
Status in Twisted:
  New

Bug description:
   affects testtools

  twisted.internet.base.DelayedCall has different behaviour depending
  whether or not debug was specified to its constructor. It will set
  self.creator to traceback.format_stack().

  Later on, in its __str__ it uses the debug attribute to determine
  whether or not to add a traceback to the output - a traceback which is
  not available in case testtools monkey patched debug to be true.

  Btw, apart from this issue the debug code was really useful in tracking
  down a bug in the builddmanager yesterday. Thanks for writing it.

  Cheers,

  jelmer
