If you have trouble reproducing (or just don't want to mess around  
with your systems) I can currently reproduce my hang EVERY time I  
delete a program from mythweb.  Any information or patches or tests  
you'd like I can provide.  Just ask.

It sure feels like a related problem.  I kept ending up in readReady  
when tracing around in the backtrace.

Thanks,

David.
