  so we are waiting at most one second and waking up the process 100
times, I would suggest to relax that a bit, give it a bit more time like
10 seconds in case the system is trashing a bit 1 second may really be
too short. And maybe wake up a bit less ...

   but patch looks good to me, it's just unfortunate we need to do some
tuning there.

     thanks !

Daniel
