Hi Tokio,

Man, I don't know what happened but I just got /plastered/ with email  
this week.  Between that and work, I haven't even touched the code. :/

I think I've noticed a similar problem.  I think it has to do with  
concurrency between processes using SQLAlchemy.  As you said, it  
seems like we need an explicit "reload" but I'm really hoping that  
that's just because we're not doing something right.  I haven't had  
time to figure it out yet, or to contact the SA mailing list to get  
their feedback.  We definitely need to address that issue before we  
get too far down the SA road.

Thanks, and I saw your recent patches.  One thing we should be extra  
careful about is to include unit tests for anything we fix.  I really  
want to improve our test suite so having test that cover the things  
you change are really important.  I'm also trying to be very diligent  
about keeping the test suite working.  Eventually I'd like to  
integrate our stuff with one of the Python community buildbots.

Thanks, and I hope you haven't wasted your entire spring vacation  
waiting for me to respond! :)
