Re: [Gems-users] Token owner without tokens

[Mike Marty <mikem@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, if the owner runs out of tokens, that isn't the best situation.  A
Persistent_GETS will still work, but it would be better to trigger a
Persistent_GETX for a processor's read request simply to coalesce all the
tokens back together.
