Unfortunately both of those statements are in error. Testing against the
production model is only useful when you are not chasing known bugs, when
you are chasing a bug it's best to test against the simplest system that
exhibits the bug. Mixminion has a tendency to lock up at the moment, Nick is
looking at it.

Something is broken, it would help us to fix it if you reverted to a timed mix.

btw, I read the list, please don't cc me as well/

Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it is pronounced?
