Do I use a third thread for assert_dtr? If I need to assert the dtr, the only strategy I can think of is to open in blocking mode. However, if I use synchronous RPC, this is better done in a seperate thread. I don't know how to assert the dtr otherwise. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
