Hmmm... the thing is you need to check DEAD again once after releasing
and re-grabbing the queuelock, os if we move the test into the caller,
we end up having one in the caller and one in the callee, so I thought
it would be better to keep them in the same function.  My opinion on
it isn't too strong tho.  If you feel strong about it, please feel
free to move it.

Thank you.
