A semaphore seems the right thing, but I think it would need to be
incremented after each *request* rather than for each thread (to correctly
match with the decrement after each request). This needs to be done in the
test script before each logging call - the alternative, to have a
SocketHandler-derived class used in the test script, may be too intrusive.

There seems to be some problem with Sourceforge CVS - I can't log in, nor
can I browse via ViewCVS. I don't have the latest version of the script (as
checked in by Neal). I'll try again in a while.
