I don't object to the basic idea of these patches, but...as I'm sure you can imagine, this stuff will conflict hard with the work I'm trying to prepare for submission. I, too, have had to go in to those functions and do things like add locking. Is there any chance you could hold off for just a *little* bit while I get things together? As I said before, I was traveling this last week. Now I'm home and can get back to this...
