Drupal 6.16 and the race conditions we talked about

The good news is that it looks like 6.16 has the solution.
Bad news is that 6.16 is having trouble on PHP4.

I did try it recently. The first time I ran into the issue was the night of the meetup. That night I tried Pressflow 6.15 and it didnt work. I had to install 6.9 to do the install. I them upgraded to 6.16 and ran into the issue again until I ran /update.php. Now all is well in my world.

It sounds like the issue you had was pretty serious. Did you have PHP error reporting turned on and get any the error messages?
