*wow* I call that great debugging :)

I actually thought of the possibility that the jobs in the list
were destroyed in the meantime, but I dismissed this idea since
in your gdb-trace you succesfully called one of the jobs and got
a reasonable response back. Now, I have learned that this doesn't
mean that it is actually still allocated :]

It is quite difficult though, to find out in gdb if an object
is indeed still active or if it has been destroyed in the mean-time.
Would be nice if the compiler could help us a bit there.
Something like a --mark-deleted-objects flag.

Cheers,
Waldo
