Comment (by anonymous):

 {{{free_descriptor_state}}} does not destroy the {{{descriptor_state}}}.
 Instead, if marks it as being reusable within the {{{object_pool}}}.
 Thus, the {{{mutex::scoped_lock}}} will safely unlock the safe mutex it
 had originally locked.  The mutex is only used to protect internal state
 information.  It would be unfortunate if applications had to pay for
 additional locking overhead when using a single thread or if the
 underlying sockets already provide thread-safety.
