Some Wave tests do fail because of spurious thread exceptions as well (here:

On some platforms the Wave test seems to crash during application cleanup
without any visible messages (here: http://tinyurl.com/26varp,
http://tinyurl.com/24vmbv), judging from the experiences before this might
be because of the recent changes in the thread library as well, but I'm
certainly not sure...
