In following version :
1) I replaced the yield() hack by a proper wait queue.
2) I do not invoke synchronize_sched() for mono threaded programs.
3) I avoid multiple threads doing a resize and then only one wins the
deal.
(copying/clearing big amount of memory only to discover another guy did
the same is a big waste of resources)
This seems to run properly on my hosts.
Your comments/tests are most welcomed, thanks !
