Oh well, that happens when I try to help people when I don't really know 
what I'm talking about ;-)

I though it was impossible to detect a deadlock (and a blackhole is 
something like a deadlock no?) *before* it occured, but in this case, 
we're talking about detecting it *when* it occurs, no? And then raising 
an error instead of just blocking?

Thanks,
