    This is for use when we raise an exception in another thread, which
    may be blocked.
 
-   Precondition: we have exclusive access to the TSO, which entails
-   holding a lock on the object that owns the queue, if the TSO is
-   blocked.  e.g. if the thread is blocked on an MVar, we must hold a
-   lock on the MVar before calling removeFromQueues().

+   Precondition: we have exclusive access to the TSO, via the same set
