This should be fixed now (r465). Libor, can you please check if your 
tailqueens now behaves as expected?

Ok, I think that all the showstoppers are fixed now. I still have some 
minor things on my TODO list for the 0.5 release, the most annoying 
being a minor memleak related to catch/throw, but for most purposes the 
current trunk seems to be ready for everyday use again. :)

Cheers,
Albert

P.S.: Googling around a bit more I came across Bernhardsson's algorithm 
which might be similar to your technique, see 
http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=122319.122322. I couldn't find a 
free version of that paper, but a brief description of the algorithm can 
be found on the German wikipedia page: 
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damenproblem#Explizite_L.C3.B6sung. Also, 
here is an extensive bibliography on the problem which might be 
interesting: http://www.liacs.nl/~kosters/nqueens/index.html.
