	Sorry, I've been a bit behind in my emails.

	No, I never quite worked CAS support into my java client.  I've got a  
long plane ride ahead of me tomorrow, so maybe that'll give me  
something to do.  :)

	Basically, you do the get+set in a loop where the set fails if  
something else mutated the value between the get and set.
