This is what I think I was trying to get at. Moving the loop into the
thread instead of having the loop outside the thread is the part I
think I was missing. Having a generic tool to do queue management
could be quite handy.
Of course I've since realized that my particular situation is slightly
more complicated (isn't that always how it goes?) but this is an
excellent place to start. Thanks Mark.
