+**
+** Logically a notified thread is moved from the "waiting on condition"

+** the lock that it held when wait was called.
+**
+** The timeout has two well known values, PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT and

+** notified (or the thread interrupted) before it will resume from the
+** wait. If the timeout has a value of PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT, the effect
+** is to release the lock, possibly causing a rescheduling within the
+** runtime, then immediately attempting to reacquire the lock and resume.
+**
+** Any other value for timeout will cause the thread to be rescheduled
+** either due to explicit notification or an expired interval. The latter
+** must be determined by treating time as one part of the monitored data
+** being protected by the lock and tested explicitly for an expired
