I didn't get the chance to test the patch before you committed it.
However, I have just updated to -current after you committed, and I can
confirm that this fixes the deadlocks that I was seeing.  Thanks.

If anyone's interested, iPods now make great little portable backup
devices.  I've been using a FAT32 formatted iPod for the moment, and
will be testing out (again) the HFS+ support shortly.  That, and
throwing GBDE in to the mix.
