If you come up with any further issues please let me know. Also, if you could suggest some additional BUG() lines that I could insert I would appreciate it. Since the bug is hard to reproduce, it may be easier to catch a race condition in the making via BUG() than an actual failure due to a race condition. Thanks! -- Ethan
