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

the event must be set after catching an exception or the other thread
56
Some threads require multiple events and should set the relevant one
59
Note that the event should be initially cleared so the caller can
60
wait() on him and be released when the thread set the event.
62
Also note that the thread can use multiple events, setting them as it
63
progress, while the caller can chose to wait on any of them. What
64
matters is that there is always one event set so that the caller is
65
always released when an exception is caught. Re-using the same event is
66
therefore risky as the thread itself has no idea about which event the
67
caller is waiting on. If the caller has already been released then a

cleared event won't guarantee that the caller is still waiting on it.
