I'm celebrating day 2 of having no idea what a liquid lock is.
I have to confess to this as well. I'm starting to suspect that he
really means deadlock. Searching on Google for "liquid lock mutex"
literally brings up this very NG thread. :)
Maybe it's livelock?
P.S. Just trying to snatched the prize in this little guess-game :)
FWIW, I recently came across the term here:

I explained that in another post a few minutes ago, and yes, this is it.
Maybe i should write an article on that, I though it was more well known.
As a side note, I'm highly weary of inventing new terminology. This is a
general remark, not related to this particular instance. Most often when
I personally found the need to invent a new term, it was because of not
having done my homework of looking at related work.

I didn't invented that term. But this is off topic. How would you call
that phenomena ?
