It is a design decision that PR_WaitCondVar does not report a timeout.
If you care about timeout, you must call PR_IntervalNow() before and
after the PR_WaitCondVar call and see if the elapsed time is greater
than the timeout.

The rationale for the design decision is that it is hard for the
implementation to report a timeout accurately.
