Hi Marcel,

  It's on my todo list but you're a long way ahead of me :)

  You could try the 'null' stwcx in the context switch asm to flush any 
pending reservations - I think I may have sent you mail about this a 
long while back. This may result in two sections of code both thinking 
they have a lock.

later,

Peter.
