>
> The inner worker classes of SerialSessionImpl violates the guarded block
> contract for Object#wait(). Under certain conditions it is possible that a
> session write starved.
> The wait loops of Read- and WriteWorker should be inside the synchronized
> block! We have some starvations while writing data to or serial session. We
> found out that in this case the WriteWorker-Thread waits endless for data to
> write. Because we write data asynchron to the serial session, we assume that
> a race condition occures. One thread is inside the unguarded
> WriterWorker#flushWrites() while an other invoke SerialProcessor#flush().

> states-> Always invoke wait inside a loop that tests for the condition being
> waited for. Don't assume that the interrupt was for the particular condition
> you were waiting for, or that the condition is still true.
