Small correction, the previous example probably timed out because my
MacBookPro went to sleep.  The small change here demonstrates the
problem quicker and more reliably:

	handle_call(N, _From, State) ->
		{reply, N + 1, State, random:uniform(100)}.

The small random timeout greatly increases the chance of entering a race.
