Hi,

I suspect many will read MSDN and tell me that this patch is wrong since 
MSDN says "If Alertable is TRUE, the wait will return early". Before you 
do so, please note that MSDN is WRONG and/or refers to the NtWaitForXXX 
functionality. Win32 will actually loop and never early-return for an 
Alertable WaitForXXX call.

Best regards,
