Thanks. I tried using it, but it is giving me problems in the 
sense that:
1) If the worker sends a message, and then dies, the 
"LinkTerminated" message is sometimes not caught by the owner.
2) When the worker needs to die its natural death, it is creating 
some LinkTerminated errors :/

Gotta keep tinkering.
