Hi Jon,

This message is related to bugfix #262:

  Drudgers seem to be in a waiting state, but the RRset FIFO
  queue is full. Do an additional broadcast.

  https://issues.opendnssec.org/browse/SUPPORT-8

This is to prevent a situation where the RRset queue is full, but
drudgers are inactive (or too slow). There will be an additional
broadcast signal to the drudgers. A log message is recorded if this occurs.

We might log this only at a higher verbosity level, because it can be
quite common that this occurs (since RRsets are pushed faster on the
list than the drudgers can handle, due to the cryptographically
operations they need to perform). Also, we might want to reduce the
interval.

In other words, it is not something to be worry about: it is a sign that
the signer is hard at work.

Best regards,
  Matthijs
