Would it make sense, Simon, to recommend to Andrew that he take the simple patch I submitted yesterday for this now, since it avoids a kernel crash and the risk of other uglies?
Then, when we understand that improved scalability is needed, and we have agreed on a solution to that, offer up a second patch?
I don't mind doing fancier solutions if we need them, but unless you sense we can obtain rapid agreement on something, I don't think it's a good idea to avoid the simple fix, while we are evaluating more complex solutions.
I for one do not have a sense of rapid agreement ;).
