   Perhaps a take-home lesson is "In the real world, if there's any chance
that Susan might leave, marry, die, etc, it would be really unwise for
Peter to simply pine away forever.  Similarly, in a tasking program,
if there's any chance task S might go away, task P should have a timeout
or otherwise be prepared for S's non-acceptance of a rendezvous."
