I sent a bunch of patches to prime months ago, maybe go back and dig them out

they might fix some of these issues,

I think danvet bikeshedded my will to care at the time due to lack of
proper locking,
the fact is the patches didn't change the locking, but I could
probably go back and find them.

Hopefully you haven't gone and reinvented that work.

Dave.
