You are correct.  It is possible to get into trouble when there are more
than 32 threads reading on a channel.  I'll increase the limit and make sure
that going over the limit is flagged.

We use threaded programs very heavily here but we've never exceeded that
particular limit.  One problem is that allocating (malloc/realloc) the wait list
causes incredible race conditions.
