So far we only reported major state transitions like failure to acquire the message. Let's report the initial failure after a few timeouts in a new event type. The number of timeouts is hardcoded as 3, since Windows seems to be using that. I don't think we need to make this configurable out of the box. A reasonable default may be enough.
