I've never had much luck with event_active across multiple threads,
though this may be because of my own ignorance. This also does not 
tell the thread *what* to do, just that it needs to do *something*. 

If you feel as if you want that thread to do everything after it's 
been queued, never to return to the parent, then that is a fine 
solution - but it really limits the abstractions in your code.
