> Please review the following patch. This fixes a bug in how we handle state changes for the timed `Object.wait` case in `afterYield`, which can leave a virtual thread stuck in the `BLOCKED` state. It can be triggered by two consecutive calls to timed `Object.wait`, if the first call receives a notification and the second call relies on the timeout task to wake up the thread. I added the full sequence of events that leads to the vthread getting stuck in JBS.
>
> The fix is to check for `notified` and attempt to change the state to `BLOCKED` inside the synchronized block. This guarantees that we don't change the state of an already new timed `Object.wait` call.
>
> The PR includes a new test which reproduces the issue when run several times in mach5. It's a hybrid of my original repro test and another one created by @AlanBateman.
>
> Thanks,
> Patricio
