Comment (by nickm):

 One possible fix here would be to use ConditionVariable instead; it's been
 in Windows since Vista.

 If we don't that route, here is a part that looks suspicious to me: the
 generation count getting stuck at 28 suggests to me that we are using
 generation wrong.  In any case, we should really be either waking up or
 sleeping with each time through the loop, I think.
