It works. At least, in the Plan B version, which has just one
worker, it works. It should work with more workers as well.
What happens is that you get more chans waiting to be
clunked into the wait queue. When enough time passes,
and the connection is broken (because of a reboot of
the machine with the server process, or whatever), the queue
will continue to be drained (if there are N workers, you just
would get less draining processes).
