Ok, here is a patch. Summary: - leave a minimal amount of polling (every 600 seconds) to avoid blocking forever if there's a bug (shouldn't happen of course, but who knows? especially with multiprocessing) - when wanting to wakeup a worker, put None in its receiving queue - remove periodic cleanup of thread references by using a weak dict instead - in tests, compute runtime and make the test fail if the runtime exceeds 60 seconds (to report aforementioned synchronization bugs) Tested under Linux (extensively) and Windows 7 (briefly).
