Do spurious wakeups in Java actually happen?

Seeing various locking related question and (almost) always finding the ‘loop because of spurious wakeups’ terms¹ I wonder, has anyone experienced such kind of a wakeup (assuming a decent hardware/software environment for example)?

I know the term ‘spurious’ means no apparent reason but what can be the reasons for such kind of an event?

(¹ Note: I’m not questioning the looping practice.)

Edit: A helper question (for those who like code samples):

If I have the following program, and I run it:

public class Spurious {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();
        Condition cond = lock.newCondition();
        lock.lock();
        try {
            try {
                cond.await();
                System.out.println("Spurious wakeup!");
            } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                System.out.println("Just a regular interrupt.");
            }
        } finally {
            lock.unlock();
        }
    }
}

What can I do to wake this await up spuriously without waiting forever for a random event?
