I should mention that if I change my code so the workers just pull 
things off the job queue but don't put any results on the result queue 
until after they see the None sentinel in the job queue and break out of 
the loop, I don't get the deadlock. So it's something about getting from 
one queue and putting to another queue in close proximity.

Hopefully I'm making a simple mistake with how I'm using the library and 
it'll be easy to fix...

Thanks,
