[New-bugs-announce] [issue20737] 3.3 _thread lock.acquire() timeout and threading.Event().wait() do not wake for certain values on Windows

[raruler]

New submission from raruler:

I've tried this with both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of 3.3.4 on two Windows 7 x64 machines. 

threading.Event().wait(2148) and a lock obtained from _thread used as lock.acquire(True, 2148) will never return. Anything under 2148 seems to work just fine, but anything 2148 or larger never wakes up.

The same call works on 3.3.4/x64 on OS X.
