 Bug noticed by mobmix on #tor, msdn description on
 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8054ew2f(v=vs.80).aspx

 remaining question I want to answer for myself is what happens when we
 already hold the lock and try to blockingly lock it again (do we get
 EACCESS like I hope or do we get EDEADLOCK)
