Yep, thanks;-).  My job responsibilities in the field of cluster
management software push me to think all the time about the harshest
and most unlikely failure modes and how best to ensure they're caught

good old days when all I had to focus on were "normal" terminations
and "just reasonably abnormal" failure ones...;-).
