Just a simple note. When I compared the fossil version posted by Moody in the original discussion thread to the one I am using (and IIRC  it is the one in the 9legacy git repository), I found that they differed in 2 points. One was the increase of a msg buffer, which is probably no big issue, but the other one was the omission of one deadlock patchin 9leagcy git distro.
