 :^D The problem is that I have had to debug server code that actually locked a global mutex ala:
 for (;;)
{
    io_complete& io = wait_for_io(INFINITE);
     lock();
      io.foobar();

A fun part...
io.foobar() does some things that might call lock() again, during certain scenarios. Oh, so the programmers says, well, lock() needs to be recursive... Oh, well, it seems to work. Deadlock! Shit!

    unlock();
}
 Oh shit.
