I'd like to understand this (and possibly even use it) as I tend to use
the loopback block driver often. Any chance you could break this up into
a blow-by-blow series of bugfixes? As it is here, it's a bit much for me
to digest as a newbie to bio.

My needs for explanation are perhaps greater than others on the cc: list,
so it's really optional, but I'd be much obliged if you could do so.


Thanks,
Bill
