Ok, I've gone ahead and merged the fix.  Thanks for the bug report, and
thanks to Brian for the pointer at the accept() change.  The reason I
became involved in the thread in the first place was that I was worried it
might be something like this, and indeed, it was.  Let me know if you have
any further problems of this sort.  There will probably be some more nits
like this as more locking is merged -- hence merging it in small
functional changes in as much as is possible, allowing each change to
shake out some before the next batch.

Thanks!
