[dev] moment error

Thanks for the help, i've attached a patch to fix the problem.  Basically there
was a problem with the $view variable getting clobbered by the factory method.

Another question I have (which i know has been asked before) is what methods do
people use for debugging?  I tried dbg and ddd but it seemed like it only works
for simple PHP scripts.  Once you try to deal with form/web input it really
doesn't work.  I'm using linux on my desktop (so no windows solutions please)
and i would prefer something free.  If there are no free alternatives what else
is out there?  Right now i'm using Horde::logMessage, var_dump, and print_r but
its pretty slow.

Thanks
Amith
