After looking through my code again I'm starting to think I don't 
really understand how `volatile' works after all :(

I still think something has to be done for the case when mutex::lock
()/unlock() changes the objects' member variables. I'm just not sure 
exactly what needs to be done. Would anybody care to comment?

Thanks,
