Therein you find a Load_Manager. The said Load_Manager demonstrates the proper way to requeue an entry. Unfortunately, it looks like if someone calls Set_Load while nothing else is queued, and in particular while there's nothing queued on Wait_To_Retry, then the whole system will block. Nothing's queued on the private entry that opens the only public entry. Am I missing something? Or is this an error in that code? Particularly since a paragraph or two later the author says "As the example illustrates, the 'Count attribute can be used in a barrier", except he doesn't.
