so before a writer puts something on the queue to the RT thread it

oops, missed one assumption: if the rt thread is holding on to n items
that were previously given it, it has the capacity to continue to hold
on to n items (not necessarily the same ones) whether or not it needs
all of them.
clearly not very general, but that was the case i used it in.
