Funnily enough, I noticed this morning that there were bugs in this
area.
Two possibilities for the bug:
1. In some places I noticed that the "state" field was set but no
notify() was done.
2. Some places call notify() after updating state and some call
notifyAll(). I suspect we want to use notifyAll() everywhere, but I
haven't really looked into it.
