When a message is queued, waiting to be processed by a SPOE applet, there
are some heuristic to know if a new applet must be created or not. There are
2 conditions to skip the applet creation:
1 - if there are enough idle applets on the current thread, or,
2 - if the processing rate on the current thread is high enough to handle
this new message
In the 2nd case, there is a flaw when the number of processed messages falls
to zero while the processing rate is still greater than zero. In that case,
we will skip the SPOE applet creation without taking care to check there is
at least one applet on the current thread.
So now, the conditions above to skip the SPOE applet creation are only
evaluated if there is at least one applet on the current thread.
This patch must be backported to every stable versions.
