It would be better if this was based on a monotonic clock if available on the system (such as the POSIX CLOCK_MONOTONIC argument to clock_gettime). "Guessing" jumps in the time is inherently unreliable; in your code, you won't notice changes that involve less than 10s. Notice that the same problem exists for Thread.join; it would be good if they were fixed together.
