I think I understand the cause of the currently known concurrency problems and 
hope to fix them in the next few days.  If we don't see new problems for a week 
or so I'd be very happy to go for a 1.8.0 release.  I'm not so thrilled about 
releasing the current code as it has an infrequent but major concurrency 
problem and also has a bunch of logging not really suitable for production to 
try to elucidate those concurrency problems.  Fortunately the logging finally 
worked :-)

I'm not sure how we could figure out an earlier version we'd like to release 
without all the DS 1.2 and proposed 1.3 features.

Are you aware of any DS 1.2 features we haven't implemented yet?  I have not 
yet figured out how to run the CTS, the packaging seems to have changed a bit 
since the instructions were written.

thanks!
