Subject: [PATCH] * Nasty hack to reduce the incidence of spurious exceptions
 where a user deletes a newly rezzed object before the persistence thread gets
 to it from its queue. * This should greatly reduce but not eliminate the
 problem - elimination probably requires a redesign of the prim persistence
 processes
