Hi James,

Thanks for confirming that.

What would you consider the best option when the timeout value becomes too close to 0? I see 2:

1. Don't wait. 2. Wait at least 1 ns

In the context of bordeaux-threads, I think it would be unexpected if condition-wait did no waiting at all, even if given a timeout that will surely be exceeded. In the limit of the timeout approaching zero, I would say that condition-wait converges to pthread_yield rather than a noop.
