If there is no chance of there being more than two channels, can we make it work even while both are open? The race condition is messy, can it be avoided by making the disconnect of the surplus channel less abrupt? E.g. keep both channels open until there is mutual agreement to close one, or until one times out? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
