DCOP had such a system that detected even indirect reentering calls: i.e., 
if A calls B, B calls C and C calls back into A, the call was processed.

And it *still* deadlocked. It didn't catch the more complex cases (like A 
calling B, B calling C but C spontaneously calling A before it processed 
the B message). And, like I said before, those cases end up showing in 
released code.
