IMPORTANT: sometimes, when notifying waiters by releasing their lock, the lock is not actually released or they are not actually notifyied, staying in a beautysleep. This glitch is probably caused by some detail not treated correctly in the thread python module, which is something we cannot fix. It works most of the time as expected though - maybe some cleanup is not done correctly which causes this
