Yeah, and there may be a couple other details like that.  Right now
I'm just thinking about not allowing LWLocks to block the cancel.
I guess something else to consider is whether InterruptHoldoffCount
could be larger than the number of held LWLocks; if so, that would
prevent this from working as desired.
