Any thought about a case in which you think it might be broken, I mean
any vague thought might also help where you think it might not work as
expected so that I can also think in that direction. It might be
possible that I might not be thinking of some perspective that you are
thinking and comments might be lacking from that point of view.

Do you think there is a problem with multiple processes getting the

done concurrently right?
