Why does this use INSTR_TIME_GET_DOUBLE() and not INSTR_TIME_GET_MICROSEC()?
Also, why do we really need this change? Won't the timer expiration
stop the thread at the right time anyway? I mean, sure, in theory
it's wasteful for the thread to sit around doing nothing waiting for
the timer to expire, but it's not evident to me that hurts anything,
really.

That's pretty ugly - it would be easy for the test at the top of the
loop to be left out of sync with the similar test inside the loop by
some future patch. And again, I wonder why this is really a bug.
