Thank you, that worked.  I see what I was doing wrong.

One thing I don't understand about the alternative method...

>   boost::try_mutex::scoped_try_lock lock(mutex);  // does a try_lock
>   while (!lock) {
>      cout << "trying...";
>      lock.try_lock();
>   }

How does "!lock" in the "while (!lock) { ... }" statement determine whether
it's true or false?  Does it call a function in the scoped_try_lock class?
(sorry if that's a lame question...)

Thanks again for the help, very much appreciated.
James
