We should increase this timeout to minimize the chance of it happening between 
the main thread acquiring the `threadLock` and issuing the notification, in 
which case the waiter will not go through `reenter_internal` but through 
`enter`. Also it avoids some funny scheduling where the main thread never 
acquires the `threadLock`.

We should add a `Thread.sleep` here to give time for the wait to timeout before 
suspending the waiter thread. Should be more than what the waiter thread is 
using as timeout. I have tested a timeout value of 100ms and here sleeping 
200ms and always see the deadlock on `reenter_internal` (with current mainline 
code).
