I'd really like to get that #$(&@$ parallelism bug solved. I
don't know what to do about it because it <b>seems</b> to only
occur under a ridiculously narrow set of circumstances but until I
figure out for sure what's going on I won't be fully confident
that it's not some horrible concurrency bug. OTOH, I have no
estimate right now of how much longer that's going to take. My
latest thing to note is that sometimes the stack pointer, of all
things, is somehow getting overwritten with the value of
TaskStatus.done. I have absolutely no clue how. I'm starting to
feel the same way about this bug that I usually feel about the
biology problems I try to solve for my thesis research: The
harder I look, the more confused I get.<br>

I feel your pain on that, I've been through that mill many times.
Sometimes it helps to set it down for a moment. Worst case, we
release with a buggy std.parallelism. It's not breaking existing
code because it's new.<br>

Also, I don't think the auto tester indicates we're ready for a
release quite yet. It's been ICEing on the std.concurrency
unittests.<br>
