Thanks. BTW, I realized that there is a second (and perhaps more
important) reason why we can only prepare one CV sleep at a time:
we only have one cvWaitLink in our PGPROC. So I'm now inclined
to word the revised comment in ConditionVariablePrepareToSleep as
/*
* If some other sleep is already prepared, cancel it; this is necessary
* because we have just one static variable tracking the prepared sleep,
* and also only one cvWaitLink in our PGPROC. It's okay to do this
* because whenever control does return to the other test-and-sleep loop,
* its ConditionVariableSleep call will just re-establish that sleep as
* the prepared one.
