Are you using a 2.6.38 kernel?
There was a regression in early 2.6.38 kernels that caused FUTEX_WAIT with a timeout to never return after a suspend-resume, see:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/13/23

It's been fixed by this commit:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0cd9c6494ee5c19aef085152bc37f3a4e774a9e1

Could you try with a more recent kernel (it should be fixed in 2.6.38.4)?
