I don't believe that we've guaranteed 64-bit atomics anywhere. I'm
not sure how much underlying OS/architecture support there would
generically be for 64-bit atomics... -- justin
Unless we do it with mutexes... ugly. But we do have places
in the code where the lack of 64bit "atomics" are a concern...
PS: Am I the only one who, when I see "atomics" think of Patrick
Stewart in the old Dune movie screaming: "Atomics!" ??
