The first thread to call evl_wait_event() seems to correctly drop the mutex, thus unlocking the second thread. When the second thread signals the condition variable (while holding the mutex) and then calls evl_wait_event(), thus implicitly dropping the mutex, the first thread is, unexpectedly, not restarted. I noticed that if a third thread acquires and then releases the lock (without touching the condition variable), then the first thread is restarted. This sounds like a bug?
