I just checked your patch in our CI, using the sleep(1) you suggested
earlier to more predictably lose the race(). It does work reliably (and
I confirmed with some extra trace statements that it does spin on the
sleep_millisec() loop).

I had also previously checked my suggested solution. So I do think
either is a valid solution to the problem.
