"The specified amount of real time has elapsed" should only be about "normal" timeout. 377 * <li>The specified amount of real time has elapsed, more or less.... 382 * <li>Thread <var>T</var> is awakened spuriously. (See below.) I feel that "returning early" should occur only for rare spurious wakeups (and I'd like even those to go away someday).
