RE: I broke it....
take it from someone who has smashed several fingers and toes, you need to literally drill a hole in it to relieve the pressure. Your nails actually have no nerves in them, so take a 1/16 or 1/32 drill bit, heat it red hot, let it cool for a second, and then use your fingers and twist it into the nail. You will get to the membrane shortly and then take a small needle and pop the membrane so that the blood can come out. You will probably end up popping that membrane/scab once or twice a day for a week or so but you wont lose the nail and your foot will feel about 10,000 times better. I know this probably sounds wierd but someone can back me up on this I know.
and its damn near impossible to just drop a mag-lite and break it.

RE: I broke it....
So, the maglite still works though, right?
Have you ridden with the busted toe yet?
side note: it's funny how you mentioned jumping around like a crazy man after you did that and the neighbors watching...similar thing happened yesterday when I was flushing out the coolant in the pimp van. I pulled off one of the radiator hoses and busted/bruised the hell out of my knuckle on something and I must have sounded like a sailor. I didn't realized that the new neighbors across the street were out with their 3 little girls. Welcome to the neighborhood!
