Question about Deadlock

[Alexander Danilou]

One of MasterExam questions in K&B book suggests that wait()/notify() will NOT prevent deadlock.
How can it be?
My understanding that if wait() is called then thread releases the lock, so it can resolve at least simple deadlock situation with two threads and two objects
I'm looking at example on page 745 (K&B 6)
Can somebody explain please
Thanks,

I am having a little difficulty understanding the question. Can you elaborate with an example or quote some code and sources ?

Statement: A call to wait()/notify() will NOT prevent a deadlock.
True or false?
