[elephant-devel] wedging elephant

Through the course of messing around I've managed to wedge elephant a
few times. Symptoms include unresponsive lookups (things seem to just
hang), slot errors on the store controller, and once, incessant
segfaults. I think I caused these in a few different ways, such as
interrupting and aborting actions in progress, and not cleanly
shutting down the connection. I might have done other things too.

So, what are some good ways to prevent wedging? What sorts of behavior
should I avoid? What's the worst thing that can happen? Might I lose
all my data? Is recovery reliable?
