I tried deleting my Twisted 2.5.0 install and installed the
prerelease, and it works fine with the unit tests for my VIFF project.

They use the twisted.protocols.loopback.loopbackAsync function for
testing the interaction of several (3 or 4) peers in a network. I have
modified it a bit to ensure that things really are run asynchronously.
What I mean with this is the I want the server and client to be run
interleaved so that an execution trace is not just

  [C, C, C, C, S, S, S, S]

but more like this:

  [C, S, C, C, S, S, S, C]

with some random interleavings.

You can find the file here:

  http://hg.viff.dk/viff/raw-file/tip/viff/test/loopback.py

with the relevant diff here:

  http://hg.viff.dk/viff/rev/21fbfaae93e2

My test case of the asynchronous tests is here:

I hope this can be of interest for someone...
