Thank you for the praise, but I'll be cautious and say let's wait a little
while longer before we pronounce things fixed :) Those mysterious lockups
can be tricky at best to track down sometimes, and I would hate to have
people think this will fix all their ails when it might or might not, we
simply don't know yet (not unless you have a gauranteed way to lock the
machine up and it passes this test with the patch).
