It's a good point about using yield(). I did use this originally, but
for some reason it generated fewer errors than using some arbitrary
sleep values. At the time, I explained this to myself as follows:
yield() means that context switching happens at well-defined points,
whereas when there are lots of sleeping threads waking up at arbitrary
moments wanting to be run, context switching happens more randomly.
I'm not sure if this explanation makes complete sense, though.

Dean.
