Good catch!
In general I'd like to hold locks for as short a time as possible and
only bracket the lock associated structure (heap_list). How about we
move the duplicate name check to down here so they are both inside
this one locked section here.
I know this will mean we take a longer unwind error path
if the names are duplicated, but that should be rare and
this will keep all heap_list accesses together.
Thanks,
Andrew
