I am not sure what this means.  Channels should work interthread, and
a queue would be built on top of channels.  So any queue implemented
in such a way should work when used between tasklets on different
threads.

What sticks out to me in your post, is that you say:

Is this the real problem?  Can't you solve this?

There's a queue inplementation in the uthread module:
