[issue9892] Event spends less time in wait() than requested

[Dmitry Dvoinikov]

New submission from Dmitry Dvoinikov <dmitry at targeted.org>:

If you request Event.wait(x), the call consistently returns in less than x seconds.

Sample:
---------------------------------------------------------
from threading import Event
from time import time

e = Event()

before = time()
e.wait(0.1)
after = time()

print(after - before)

# under Python 3.1 prints 0.109999...
# under Python 3.2 prints 0.092999...
---------------------------------------------------------
