zombi workers?

Dmitri, what happens if your dispenser process (worker_pool) dies for some reason?
It will be restarted by supervisor, but all info about worker's status will be lost.

It means some worker processes will wait for new task forever, but server never send them any tasks for execution.

That's a very valid point. I haven't even thought about it since it all started as a quick hack to get the needed functionality.

I'll look into it, but I can't give you any timeframe on when I can implement this :(
