[rules-users] Starting engine using fireUntilHalt and inserting no facts results in 50% CPU usage

[Edson Tirelli]

  This is clearly a regression as Drools should be not be using busy
waits in fireUntilHalt(). It should use monitors and locks as it was
doing before.

  Can anyone open a JIRA? also, if anyone would be willing to take
investigate and fix this one, it would really help. Otherwise, I will
add it to my queue.

  Thanks,

   Edson
