I was completly aware of the problem you pointed out (and I showed you the _good_ scenario, I know the current scenario is racy). The only thing is that in real world the race can't trigger and that's why there wasn't the check for null.
Maybe you changed something that will cause the race to trigger and so probably you want to add some null-check before the wakeup calls.
