When the thread uses an event to synchronize itself with another thread

58
Some threads require multiple events and should set the relevant one

Note that the event should be initially cleared so the caller can
62
wait() on him and be released when the thread set the event.

Also note that the thread can use multiple events, setting them as it

progress, while the caller can chose to wait on any of them. What
66
matters is that there is always one event set so that the caller is
67
always released when an exception is caught. Re-using the same event is
68
therefore risky as the thread itself has no idea about which event the

caller is waiting on. If the caller has already been released then a
