Yes, it works very well on 2.5.52.  I tested it on decidedly
non-trivial, heavily multithreaded programs.

I tried it and it works fine with 2.5.52.  Then I also tried on a
2.4.20 machine and sure enough, there it dies with a SIGSEGV.  I can
look into it, but not tonight, so you may want to go ahead with the
test-release.

Thanks,
