... and if the rest of the app doesn't all adopt the same rule, you're

get the bug report. I don't think that a system in which people "must"
implement their own locking primitives is desirable.

Personally I find diff -u format completely unreadable :-(. Send
"diff -c" if you want useful commentary.
