Each worker Thread (i.e. the TThreadPoolThread instance) has it's own 
"Wait" semaphore (TCriticalSection instance).

The semaphore is owned by the main thread while the worker thread is 
supposed to do hold off, waiting to be assigned any work by setting the 
appropriate element of the "Tasks" property.

The semaphore is owned by the worker thread when it is working (as 
easily seen in the Execute procedure.
