Oh, I am very sure there are disadvantages to any implementation of
anything. But, this works (tm) and I am sure satisfied with performance
in situations I tried.

But (always some:), I am thrilled here... Ok, signaling is preemptive
(I've read earlier thread on this and it's very informative) and we
should avoid it (until they fix it) if possible. Is it possible to fix
it, say, with only marking some process ready (as oppossed to
"waiting") and continue, in place where they context switch at signal
without pause?

Also, as I very much like to use message queues for my interthread
stuff... Would semaphore based consumer-producer be free of this
braindeadness we are talking about here?
