Ok.  Yes, it seems like the one mutex sequence that is causing me trouble
is just broken. :)

I have reworked it slightly to resolve the multiple unlock issue.  Now I
just have to figure out some of the other reasons for crashes and lockups.

Potentially something is not getting locked at the right spot, etc.  I sure
do need something like "options LOCKDEBUG" for a pthreads app.

Thanks.
