[Stackless] Channels between threads

Hi Simon:

Not sure if you have solved your problem yet...

No this does not imply activity per se. Rather the
output is saying there is a tasklet connected to that
channel and it is a sender (positive count - sending,
negative - receiving). Also this tasklet will be the
first to be unblocked if there is a receiver.

To see if the application is active, I would do a
stackless.getruncount() to see how many tasklets are
still running (i.e., is the number greater than one?).
Then compare this to the number of tasklets you think
have not finished (runcount() does not include
blocked). 

The reason I asked for __reduce__ is I was trying to
think of scenarios that would reproduce your
behaviour. Perhaps this wasn't useful. When I have
time, I will take another look at your code. 

Cheers,
Andrew
