There is a plain text file backend in CVS but it was decided it couldn't be finished and tested in time. > Then again - is it possible it's due to multiple concurrent wombats > running hitting my address data ? this my happen to me more regularly > since I tend to killall -9 bonobo-activation-server - which might result > in new children being spawned - what sort of locking is in-place to > handle that case ?
