I'm glad to hear it. Please note that I have seen a few hiccups myself and
you might look out for them; not data corruption, but rather apparently
lost wakeups (reads and selects that stay blocked after they should
return). I have not tracked it down or isolated test cases for this, so if
you do see anything funny then it would be most helpful to work on
isolating a small and simple test case that reproduces the problem. For
me, the problems usually showed up with dselect (ftp) doing mid-sized
downloads like the Packages files. (I have not been looking into this lately.)
