MiniAccismus.waitForObservers() returns before processing is finished
In MiniAccismus, the waitForObservers() method is occasionally returning before all observers are done processing.  This is because the method returns if there a no notifications available in the table.  However, observers could still be running and creating new notifications.  

The method should instead check that no observers are running and no new notifications are in the table before returning.
