rather a worked-up response for a simple question.

for the record, i think many people on this list are interested in
fixing things.  if this is a pet project of yours, why don't you work
on fixing it?  unfortunately, i don't have very much spare time right now.
there are drivers to write.

i have also noticed that replica/applylog has a problem.  when i started
experimenting with copying history from our old fileserver to the new
one, i started using replica/updatedb and replica/applylog.  updatedb
worked very well, but applylog hung for me pretty consistantly.

my thought was that applylog has a threading deadlock, but i didn't spent
much time thinking about it.  one thing that does help quite a bit  is to use 
replica/compactdb on your local database.  that is in /dist/replica/plan9.db.
