Hmmm... It looks like something the DjikstraSemaphore class could be used
for. Use semaphore.aquire() in get() and semaphore.release() in put(). This,
of course, means that each thread can only aquire one instance from the
pool, to prevent deadlock. Is there a way to recognize when a thread has
taken two items out of the pool and optionally throw an exception in that
case?
Berin, I'd be quite happy to take a look at whatever code it is you have for
the blocking pool, along with the test cases (if any).
