declaimed the following:

>Concern: Since the master process is multi-threaded, it seems likely enough that multiple threads on the master side would make requests at the same time. I understand that the Queue class has locks that make

	Multiple "master" threads, to me, means you do NOT have a "master
process".

	Let there be a Queue for EVERY LISTENER.

	Send the Queue as part of the request packet.

	Let the subthread reply to the queue that was provided via the packet

	Voila! No intermixing of "master/slave" interaction; each slave only
replies to the master that sent it a command; each master only receives
replies from slaves it has commanded. Slaves can still be shared, as they
are given the information of which master they need to speak with.
