I'm testing a fixed version even as I type.
It will be available in the next anoncvs update, I think, BUT the problem
is it requires a subtle change in kernel thread-sleep semantics (which we
had implemented for other reasons by the by) that let me make a far neater
solution than would otherwise have been possible.
So I can't just publish a patch or even a couple of new files ;-( it's the
whole thing.
Being unwilling to read Joerg's messages because they are not plain text,
I can't comment more specifically. Turn off base-64 encoding please Joerg.
