 * Set up a chain of tasks. Each task knows about its mailbox and

 * ref.
 * The main thread pushes an empty StringBuffer into the first task's
 * mailbox, which writes "hello" into the buffer and passes the
 * modified StringBuffer on to the next task, and so on. The last
 * task appends "world", prints it out and exits.
