Mine says this: (and it is also my previous understanding on the
subject)

       A condition variable must always be associated with a
       mutex, to avoid the race condition where a thread prepares
       to wait on a condition variable and another thread signals
       the condition just before the first thread actually waits
       on it.

Stew choosed to ignore this, and accept that it does race sometimes.
