Hello,

two amateur :) questions:

Is there a risk involved in waiting long/endless? For example larger than
some RMI GC intervall or too long for catching up with the filling of OG?
How to test for that?

I typically not use a endless wait limit when there is a loop with a fixed
endtime but use a large but limited number. This helps to catch situations
where wakeup is missing (for example on shutdown) or lost. Would it be an
option to use something like 10s?

Gruss
