Trying to iterate over worker threads that may be starting and stopping seemed
just too darn hard (for me anyway). Reading the "scoreboard" code put me off.
I ended up using atomic operations. In the mod_sflow module this boils down
to just 3 atomic operations in the critical path. That's t
I found this problem conceptually interesting and worth of
generalization in many contexts. I'd like to know if Neil got around the
problem with something that could be a satisfying solution.
