Thanks!  Snagged.

Hmm, interesting.  Well, the impression I got from looking at cached
google-html-ified versions of the MIPS PDFs was that there was no
solution, only workarounds.  If that's not the case, then I'm glad I
managed to make an ass of my self thanks to the magic of poorly-rendered
incoherent semi-views of said docs.  In any case, I'll look into it
more, for all I know, this points in the direction of my atomic ops
code being börken.  (Not out of the question.)

Hm, ok.  I think there was some stuff on techpubs a while ago, but
when I went to check around last week, all I could find was maybe
Heinrich's R4K user's manual.  And plenty of MIPSIV stuff.  I was
probably just lost :)  I'll look around on the main FTP.  Thanks
for the pointer :)

Thanx,
juli.
