I hope the parties involved don't take this personally, but I have to speak my mind about something I think we're doing terribly wrong and as a result is hurting the project.
Basicly we have the following situation (and please correct me if I'm wrong). Hartmut spends some time examining the registry and object manager problems. Alex has partially rewritten the object manager to fix the problems, but can't get get further because he needs to wait for Thomas to finish his handle table implementation. Meanwhile, Thomas seems to be doing everything but finishing his handle table implementation. Alex keeps an increasing number of bugfixes (not only bugfixes for the object manager) on his private miscelanea branch and thus keeping these bugfixes away from 25 developers and whatever number of testers we have. The 25 developers and testers will have to live with these bugs until the branch is merged to trunk which appears to be several weeks away. Hartmut seems to be willing to fix the object manager and registry manager bugs on trunk, but if he now did, he would be duplicating work.
If this is what has happened, then we should make sure it doesn't happen again so we don't waste our (very) limited resources. If this is not what happened then I apologise for wasting bandwidth on this mail.

I do not think this is a wast of time. *Finally* getting good debug information from problems I once had (remember the little lockup reports I've posted). Yeah, no one seemed to understand why too. So, if this delays 0.2.6, I do not care. I just know when it does make *tha cut* I will be very happy to have Reactos stable enough to soon become 0.3.0 alpha.
Oh, don't get me started on emulators, I found these little problems on real hardware.
