When getidleworker signals the pool herder to spawn a thread, it increases the dry counter, and the herder resets dry again when spawning a single thread. This will in many cases only create a single thread even though the herder was signaled dry multiple times, and may cause a situation where the cache acceptor is queued and no new thread is created. Together with long lasting tasks (ie endless pipelines), and all other tasks having higher priority, this will prevent the cache acceptor from being rescheduled. c00096.vtc demonstrates how this can lock up. To fix this, spawn threads if we have queued tasks and we are below the thread maximum level.
