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

[Tim Golden]

Tim Golden added the comment:

I can confirm that the attached test.py times out after 2150 seconds (ie
30+ minutes) with your (tweaked) patch applied:

python test.py 2150

Running Debug|Win32 interpreter...
2014-05-08 10:33:53.670091
Expected to time out by 2014-05-08 11:09:43.670091
Timed Out
2014-05-08 11:09:43.765079

I don't see us adding a test which would lengthen the test suite run by
more than 30 minutes!
