Further to last week's email about looping on events, I restructured my 
code and I no longer get exceptions.

However I believe there is a flaw in the design of fdb.EventConduit 
meaning events can be lost.

wait() blocks on the internal threading.Event, then copies the event 
count. It does not clear the event. Because of this, you have to call 
flush yourself to reset the Event. If you don't then wait() returns 
immediately (the event is still set).

However in between calling wait() and calling flush(), you can lose 
events. There needs to be a way to reset the Event without resetting the 
counters. Or wait() should do that.
