Re: ost::Event and multiple wait()s

[Federico Montesino Pouzols]

        If you want only one thread to be picked, I think Event will
not work. Event::signal uses pthread_cond_broadcast, so all waiting
threads will be reactivated. Conditional however has a signal method
that allows to specify whether to use pthread_cond_broadcast or
pthread_cond_signal.
