Comment (by mmlr):
This looks like a normal race condition between the evaluation of the done
flag and the thread suspend. There is nothing to prevent the done flag
from flipping after the evaluation but just before the thread suspends
itself.
That theory could be verified by checking that the done flag is in fact
true already while the waiting thread is suspended.
The proper solution would be to use a condition variable which deals with
such cases.
