Two Faulker quotes for those who don't follow links.
Nobody trusts a well-dressed engineer.
/*
* Same as cv_wait(), but wakes up (after wakeup_time milliseconds) to
check
* for requests to stop, like cv_wait_sig() but without dealing with
signals.
* This is a horrible kludge. It is vile. It is swill.
* If your code has to call this function then your code is the same.
