BROKER_MASTERSTART
Description:
This wait type is when a thread is waiting for the initial start of Service Broker during instance startup when the master database is being started. There will only be one of these waits per instance.
(Books Online description: “Occurs when a task is waiting for the primary event handler of the Service Broker to start. This should occur very briefly.”)
