Hey Ben

Thanks for quick response.

No, I do want the waitUntilDate because I do not solely want to wait
for the signal.

So you are saying it should rather be like this?

      while (!quit) {
          [pollingCondition lock];

          if([pollingCondition waitUntilDate:
                       [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:SLEEP]]) {

              [pollingCondition unlock];

          }
          ...
      }

I can't seem to find that indicated in the documentation though.

http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Cocoa/Reference/NSCondition_class/Reference/Reference.html

Also the documentation suggests that after calling

          [pollingCondition lock];

the contract is to have a lock for sure.

cheers
