Btw why doesn't the windows VM signal the semaphore?

Basically, there may or may not be some issue with them not being noticed in
the image, it hasn't been a priority since the Squeak image doesn't depend
on it, and no-one have set aside the time to fix it.
Not very hard really, just time-consuming and tedious checking you've hit
all the points it has to be signalled.

So someone has to do it and it will work. :) Waiting for the signal with a timeout can also tell if there's code in the vm that doesn't signal the semaphore. If the waiting ends because of the timeout, but there are new events available, then we can be pretty sure there's more VM code to be fixed.
