I recently ran into a case (* would that be helpful to describe here?)
where thread1 had to do something, thread2 had to do something after
that, and thread1 had to wait for that, then do something else, and
thread2 again had to wait before starting the first thing again.

Clarify:

def thdloop( thd ):
   while thd.cont:
      thd.sig1event.wait()
      ret= thd.cmd()
      thd.sig2event.set()
      thd.seg3event.wait()

and

def consumer( thd ):


EXCEPT that,
