+pthread_cond_(timed)wait is supposed to be called after the condition
+has been tested and the condition must be tested afterwards to account
+for races, spurious wakeups etc.
+The backtraces I saw point at a pthread_cod_wait called by
+_wapi_handle_wait_signal_handle in io-layer/handles.c: it doesn't look
+like the pattern of checking the condition before and after (in a
+loop) is followed here and this could be the cause of this bug.
