Which is incredibly funny, if you think about it, since there
are two ways to implement a call conversion threads package:

1)	Trade a sync call for an async call plus a context
	switch

2)	Trade a blocking call for a non-blocking call plus
	a context switch

So... how do you do a non-blocking aio_wait again?  8-) 8-).
