I'm not sure what else to say. The patch and example code I gave a couple emails back demonstrate the behavior I'm talking about, if you'd like a clearer illustration. If the waits are done too close together (and thus the calls to s48_note_external_event are performed close together), some of the threads are not woken and sleep indefinitely. Further calls to wait (which end in calls to wait-for-external-event) are never woken as well.
