A while ago there was a discussion about how to make sure that the bpstart/end 
scripts for a class with multi-streaming were only executed once.  It appears 
that the only good way to do it is to write some sort of checkpoint that 
stores state for each time a start is called, and then only calls the end 
script when the checkpoint decrements to 0.

This doesn't seem extremely difficult to do, but Curtis indicated back in 
November that it was a little tricky, so I'm not sure I'm thinking of all the 
issues.

Anyone want to volunteer the answer?

Thanks.
