I'm extremely sorry with this situation. I should have been more
verbose, because you are not being ignored, at least not by me :

what happens, is that I look at your patches, find failures or
warnings (with PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL set to 2), and try to understand
what's going on. However, lack of threads knowledge from my part,
and little time, have prevented me from sending the well
argumented reply I meant. (And moreover I sometimes hopes
somebody who knows threads better than me comes up with a
comment).

And for other lurkers, I don't ignore patches (Hi, Salvador.)
They're just in that special inbox of mine I use to sort them...
