Since he calls Thread.currentThread().interrupt() the next
wait() will throw an InterruptedException. So it is not
really ignored. It will be only ignored if all of the code
uses uninterruptableWait(), and nowhere Thread.interrupted()
is queried.

But the biggest flaw I see in the original code, is that
done=true is not called in the exception handler, so it will
not break out of the code. Actually it will inflict a new
InterruptedException by the wait() and so on.

(Erics and marks code have a similar flaw, the flaw there
is that wait() is again called, so code could block)

Probably the code is only working, since wait()s are allowed
to be spurious. But if this is not happening the CPU will
burn, burn, burn, ...
