We also considered splitting it up. We couldn't reason
out the interprocess communication properly. In actual
use, this algorithm get's run every time we insert a new
string. So we couldn't figure out how to reliably make
sure the kids were all working on mdifferent strings--I mean,
we coulda ... we just thought it was a dead end.
Unless there _a lot_ of kids (on lotsa computers), it just
didn't sound useful.
