I certainly hope so, sounds like a small change (use a JChannel type 
rather than a MuxChannel (extends JChannel))...

Another release, so soon after 2.6.2 ? Only if absolutely necessary. 
Seems to me that Tim can fix his stuff much more quickly... In any case, 
let me know, I need a few days to get a 2.6.3 out (including fixing the 
NPE you opened).
