Description Alon Levy 2011-11-01 02:31:53 UTC

replace dispatcher implementations in main_dispatcher and red_dispatcher by a single one.

a dispatcher is the current word prevalent in the source for a pipe between two different threads, a message passing mechanism.

The dispatcher has the following requirements:
 receive from a single thread (current users are io and worker threads)
 send from multiple threads

Users would be:

io thread <- worker thread : channel_event
worker thread <- io thread : all red_dispatcher messages (~20)

This is a test bug for git bz for me.
