[ros-dev] vncviewer is oh so close

[art yerkes]

The good news is that vncviewer is oh so close to running.  If you apply
this patch it *does* run, but I think the patch is wrong.  Hopefully, 
after illustrating a wrong solution somebody might be able to see a right
one.

The problem it runs into is that the 2nd 'Alertability failed' message in
KeWaitForMultipleObjects is always triggered, which makes vncviewer unable
to display anything.

If i #if 0 that block out, then it appears to work fine.  I suspected that
either we were being too conservative or there are too many APCs happening
on that thread, and this confirms that one of the suspicions is true.

The attached patch illustrates the probably broken solution.

Here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives
which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions. You will
exhibit no net motion. None the less, you may soon begin to notice that
something important is happening.
