Nice. Now there should always be a happy ending, because we ensure
that the princess will not sleep if the prince arrives early. (He

I'm pretty confident that the concurrency bugs have been squashed in
ruby-ixp, so it should be quite stable now. So instead, I will
inspect the ruby-wmii branch that you are using, with the help of
the logs you posted, to find the bug.

quickly growing into a mountain.
