It's coming back to me. I wanted to use a select in the writer so I can have the actual write non-blocked while holding the global lock. I thought this would make the queue manipulation a bit simpler. It's much better though to have the RPC outside of the lock, though, and I think the overhead of the pending output state is not at all too bad. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
