Great news!

I'm going to go play with this a little. I'm guessing that there's a little bug in the notify code somewhere so that it doesn't notice the player starting after a yank.

I wouldn't have seen this often during testing - I have years of experience of being nice to linux boxes, and avoid hard restarts whenever possible. It's just a mindset, my brain is slowly coming around to the concept that the empeg doesn't care.

[edit]
That should really have said "computers" not "linux boxes". In my experience, linux boxes have been the most graceful in dealing with power outages.
