I completely disagree, the test that failed was run before the recursive 
detection test.

I'm guessing that Eric is using a fairly slow CPU which took longer than 0.1 
seconds for the ~8 context switches in the test to take place.

Please keep these discussions *on* the list, it's there for archival purposes 
as much as anything; if people don't like the volume they can un-subscribe and 
just follow tech-talk.
