Saving the seeds from a squash?

I tried saving seed from a good pumpkin, a few years ago.
The following year, the resulting plant produced a
pumpkin-coloured,
pumpkin-fleshed, but marrow-shaped fruit.
I had grown courgettes alongside the pumpkin from which I saved
the
seed!

This year I've grown traditional 'straight' courgettes alongside
some
'round' variety of courgettes. I'd been thinking of keeping some
seeds from
the round ones. However, am I likely to get plants which are hybrids
of each
type or even something not very productive or good to eat?
If they were flowering at the same time, I think you'd get mongrels.
