 There's a bug in condition_algorithm_8a<ConditionMembers>::wait
 In the beginning of the method it's using
 data.get_sem_block_lock().wait();

 This may cause the wait to wait forever, even if you're using the timed
 wait version of the method.

 Happens to me when a "Client" process holds the lock and then dies, this
 causes the wait() to wait forever.
 What should have happened, is the it would time out, and then i could
 detect the failure, and do something about it.
