The relevant applications are multi-platform: OS X; Linux; and yes,
Windows.

Your mention of condition variables not working reliably(?) on 
Windows has certainly piqued my interest.  Are you referring to
Ruby's condition variables?  Or some fundamental Windows flaw?
Our C++ app uses boost::condition variables on all platforms.
Definitely interested to know if there's some glitch in Ruby
and/or Windows I should be aware of.


Thanks,

Bill
