| 73 ** Logically a notified thread is moved from the "waiting on condition" | |
| 74 ** state and made "ready." When scheduled, it will attempt to reacquire | |
| 75 ** the lock that it held when wait was called. | |
| 76 ** | |
| 77 ** The timeout has two well known values, PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT and | |

| 80 ** wait. If the timeout has a value of PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT, the effect | |
| 81 ** is to release the lock, possibly causing a rescheduling within the | |
| 82 ** runtime, then immediately attempting to reacquire the lock and resume. | |
| 83 ** | |
| 84 ** Any other value for timeout will cause the thread to be rescheduled | |
| 85 ** either due to explicit notification or an expired interval. The latter | |
| 86 ** must be determined by treating time as one part of the monitored data | |
