I'll look into that, soon. My hopes are to get past 5.2.0 as quickly as
possible. I have done a lot of work on the queue engine in the recent
development version and there are definitely a couple of issues in 5.2.0
which cannot be fixed without upgrading the 5.3 version. That just FYI. I
will probably not work on any queue-related issues in 5.2 but rather
recommend to move on to a newer version. However, for normal operations that
do not require intensive use of the queues, 5.2.0 should work OK and be
faster than pervious versions.
