Hm, but then we have a problem on the side that has this late wait,
that is an access to a dead object. So the UB is there, in that thread
that is doing the wait. (Suppose it is just threads and not processes,
that would even be more complicated.) That spurious wakeup that you
are talking about is a consequence of UB.
