Thank you for your comments on this series. It's much appreciated. I will be rerolling this series with extended commit messages about the lock-handling. Looking over this code again, I notice that a larger cleanup of the error-handling might be warranted. It would indeed feel better to do a minor part of that, instead of taking a small step in the wrong direction... Martin
