Well, that was my half-arsed theory on why it didn't work for Jens (ie he wasn't busy, but instead would wait for READY). And judging from Jens' report, that was apparently exactly what was going on. In some respects, Jens' case is actually the more natural one. In fact, it seems to be yours too, if I read your next mail correctly. We should _first_ wait for !BUSY and then the quick RDY wait is actually good.
