Trouble with radium (rc.44-070608)

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Wolfgang,
I see the problem, and I'm on it. futex() is used to implement
threads synchronization mechanisms, and we use it to keep
the thread in radium() that maintains connectivity, coordinated
with the thread that decides to drop connections. It will need
a little reorganization, but I'm on it.
