Successfully Rigging Halyards in the Mast

You probably all know that Andy Murphy had to take to the shore last Sunday and thinks that his spinnaker halyard was wrapped around another halyard inside the mast... I've been thinking about this, and have luckily never ever had to sort one out. Does anyone have any tips or a successful method for ensuring halyards are rigged so that they are free running??

    We have had various bits wrapped in the mast before now. The only advice I can offer is to keep existing halyards etc tight, then re-thread any you suspect being tangled.
