CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() would reset the event wait state. Hm.. You
may be right about the WARNING and it would be better to not rely on

Actually, I have some questions:
1) Should a new wait event be added in recoveryPausesHere()? That
would be IMO useful.
2) Perhaps those two points should be replaced with WaitLatch(), where
we would use the new wait events introduced?
