Sure, I want it to work everywhere, but I was also
uncertain that people would even see this as an interesting
& realistic test.
I know that *I* want to know that it can send ten billion messages
with no problem, but does anybody else care? I don't know.
That would be 60 messages per second for 5 years, so I fear a lot
of users just won't care at that level.
But -- it seems like I should:
1. see if it happens on latest Fedora and latest RHEL.
2. if it is reproducible in any way more general that "mick's
laptop running Fedora 17", then go after root cause.
Then we would be able to judge whether we care. Hopefully.
