If you re-read my post, you'll notice that I did indicate you can't use it
because you can't determine that it will ever finish. Its an interesting
concept, but unusable as a sorting algorithm. It was a variation on an old
embedded development strategy: Write a random code generator, then go into
the lab and make patches until it works.
