// Get one incoming request.
// This is one of the few places where the compositor is
// allowed to panic. If one of the receiver.recv() calls
// fails, it is because the matching sender has been
// reclaimed, but this can't happen in normal execution
// because the constellation keeps a pointer to the sender,
// so it should never be reclaimed. A possible scenario in
// which receiver.recv() fails is if some unsafe code
// produces undefined behaviour, resulting in the destructor
// being called. If this happens, there's not much we can do
// other than panic.
