Hi Chas,

I must confess that I have forgotten what the state of this patchset is. 
Looking at gerrit, it seems that I made a few comments about minor tweaks 
that would be desired, but we think that the code is mostly fine.

I guess we still need someone to resolve the questions that you pose in 
the quoted chunk, though?

Do you plan to be working on the pthreaded bozo code any time soon? 
Should I try to pick up where we left off?

Thanks,

Ben
