The contract with Ajuba was terminated prematurely and it
will not be renewed. Any further work would be time
donated by Jiang, myself, or anyone else who wanted
to help out.

Humm, I think so but I can't remember off hand. The problem with
this "fix" is that it currently does not work. There are strange
crashes when running the test suite. I was thinking that it might
be best to try using one of the other implementations we talked
about (like the free Tcl object enque thing) in the short term.
After the notifier queue impl was fixed, things should be working
well enough to be merged back into the HEAD branch. Then, the
ref counting stuff could be worked on in isolation.
