Well, I saw this occasionally on my dual core laptop when working on the 
RWLock.  A notify() before a target does a wait() is ineffective and it would 
wait indefinitely after the notify(5) call.  This isn't a "proper" fix (I had 
another, more complex, where we would keep a counter for the number of 
successful "waiters" and wait for that to reach the target value) but it is in 
the spirit of many of these tests, where we rely on _wait() to be sufficient to 
reach a certain state.
