I'm probably missing something, since it looks like your patch does
use wait/notify.
I'm not overly concerned about the mechanics of how this works. If
it doesn't satisfy some VM we can always revisit it.

Probably put the synchronized around the loop instead of inside it,
so the _initCount check is synchronized.
