Thanks for finding this, Vadim.  I had meant to re-run my locking tests
on the new code before the 6.3 final, but had not done it yet.  I ran
them now, and they didn't work as they should.  It is fixed now.

The problem was that I was incrementing a counter in a while conditional
test, even though I was not executing the loop, and the counter was used
in the next loop.
