[elephant-devel] db gc

[Ben]

hey! thanks for the patch.

ok, i've changed my mind, i'll do one last set of patches to elephant
and cut a release, to include all of gabor and other people's fixes.

gabor, let me know when you feel like a good time to do this is,
e.g. when your code will settle.  i'll try to take a serious look at
it too at some point.
