        When the thread uses an event to synchronize itself with another thread
        (setting it when the other thread can wake up from a ``wait`` call),
        the event must be set after catching an exception or the other thread
        will hang.

        Some threads require multiple events and should set the relevant one
        when appropriate.

        Note that the event should be initially cleared so the caller can
        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
        matters is that there is always one event set so that the caller is
        always released when an exception is caught. Re-using the same event is
        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
