It'd be cool to see this, and the fix, modeled in TLA+

plz stop nerdsniping me

More seriously, I'd love to see this modeled in Promela/Spin. There was a go bug a while back where I reproduced it in TLA+ and someone else reproduced it in Spin, and I personally liked the Spin solution a lot more. It seems well-suited for these kinds of problems!

Haha, sorry. Although I will say your blog is precisely where my interest in TLA+ originated from.
