Could you do me a favor?
Do you also see the warning for a simple test case like this:

(progn
  (defvar *mutex* (sb-thread:make-mutex))
  (defvar *waitqueue* (sb-thread:make-waitqueue))
  (loop
   (sb-thread:with-mutex (*mutex*)
     (format t "sleeping..~%")
     (sleep 0.1)
     (handler-case (sb-ext:with-timeout 0.2
		     (sb-thread:condition-wait *waitqueue* *mutex*))
       (sb-ext:timeout ())))))

If so, could you report it as a SBCL bug?  
And if you are at it, also convince the SBCL gods that CONDITION-WAIT
should take a timeout argument directly, because that would be more
efficient and less problematic than WITH-TIMEOUT.  Thanks.

Helmut.
