It's coming back to me.  I wanted to use a select in the writer so I can
have the actual write non-blocked while holding the global lock.  I thought
this would make the queue manipulation a bit simpler.  It's much better
though to have the RPC outside of the lock, though, and I think the overhead
of the pending output state is not at all too bad.

Thanks,
Marcus
