This is the comment above the code that generates that log record:
/*
* This is a temporary (probably) hack to fix a bug on tru64 5.1
* and 5.1a. Sometimes, pthread_cond_timedwait() doesn't actually
* return when the time expires, so here, we check to see if
* we're 15 seconds or more behind, and if we are, we signal
* the dispatcher. This isn't such a bad idea as a general purpose
* watchdog, so perhaps we should just leave it in here.
*/
I expect that the warning is likely to turn into something more
descriptive than it is to go away.
