Thanks, Jay. I agree with your comments about Essex. The problem is that 
I have cleaned up after a number of operational problems in a cluster 
that has been up for 3 months. It is hard to reproduce these problems 
when the mean time to failure is so long, and real investigation can be 
dangerous when there are real users. One thing I have done in past 
projects is to have an email address where people are encouraged to 
report 'incidents' like this. Investigation and creation of a proper bug 
report can be dangerous and/or a lot of work but we could encourage 
operators of real systems to just email these problems even if they 
don't have time to investigate. That could help find problems that are 
appearing in the field but don't get picked up in unit tests and such. I 
will file a bug about the bad state.
