Description Carlos O'Ryan 2000-05-11 17:25:14 CDT 
In some dispatching strategies the event service uses one or more queues
serviced by dispatching
threads.  The maximum size of said queues is currently hard-coded.  It should be
selectable with
at least the following options:
- No limit
- Max number of messages
- Max total size (can we measure that?)

once the maximum is reached the queue simply flows controls the suppliers.  In
some applications
we may wish to drop events, for example:
- The oldest events are dropped to make room for the new one.
- or the the events with lowest priority

this last aspect should probably be controlled using some application specific
strategy,
because there may be multiple different criteria to drop the events.

Must be fixed before 1.2 is out

This is just to report the ETA:  this is 2-3 days of work, but it will take me a
couple of weeks just to make the time to look into this bug.

We decided not to hold off the release for this bug.  It was only added in the 
first place because it was easy to fix, but I couldn't find the time to do it.

I will never have time to work on these bugs.  Returning them to the TAO support
pool.
