Currently expected behaviour - there was a recent bug fix for a
nasty, hard to hit corner case that reintroduced this periodic
wakeup. We're waiting for things to settle down before (i.e. give
users some time to report whether the problem really is fixed before
removing the periodic wakeup again....
Cheers,
