Regardless of whether it does or doesn't, you don't really want to be
blocking in two places anyway, so the "FINISHED" event in the queue is
the superior solution.

It's certainly possible to build a work pool w/ a queue such that you
block on both for entries added to the queue and job completion, but
I'm pretty sure it's something you'd have to write yourself.
