Uncertain period awaiting resolution (5)

I believe the answer is:

limbo

(Other definitions for limbo that I've seen before include "waiting time" , "Dance - place of oblivion" , "State of waiting in uncertainty" , "Waiting state; Caribbean dance" , "Place of uncertain waiting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
