Hi Roger,
the change looks good overall.
One thing that I probably don't fully understand:
Line 265: while (blines.isEmpty() && A_alive == A.isAlive()) {
Isn't this a bit dangerous for the case that A isn't alive any more, also
wasn't at the time A_alive was initialized and blines is empty for some reason?
Then you will end up with an endless loop. But maybe this is a bit
theoretical...
Yes, the test can be simplified, A_alive would be true (unless it died
prematurely) so
the inner loop can just test for A.isAlive().
(jtreg timeouts would take care of the infinite loop but might leave a
more confusing failure to diagnose).
Thanks, Roger
Best regards
Christoph
