--------------------------------
hey todd,
regarding the 0.20 patch, i was planning on leaving it as-is and working on the
patch for trunk. that one will be up to snuff and have all the headers and
hopefully be cleaner. otherwise, I'll have 3 concurrent branches to keep going
(internal 0.20, 0.20 'refined', and trunk)
does that work for you? or do you need a cleaned up 0.20 version for something
in particular?

> In BlockReceiver.receivePacket, it calls replicaInfo.setBytesOnDisk before
> calling flush(). Therefore, if there is a concurrent reader, it's possible to
> race here - the reader will see the new length while those bytes are still in
> the buffers of BlockReceiver. Thus the client will potentially see checksum
> errors or EOFs. Additionally, the last checksum chunk of the file is made
> accessible to readers even though it is not stable.
