-<P>
-This is all pretty straight-forward too. One gottcha we avoided was a memory leak
-due to our shutdown message. Notice that svc() enqueues that block without bothering
-to see if there are any more threads to dequeue it. Thats why our dtor can call getq()
-without worrying about blocking infinitely: it knows the message block will be there.
