thanks for taking the time.  Unfortunately (for my pride), I found the 
error and should have spotted it before I posted.  As you gathered from 
your test, it had nothing to do with the PScopedLock.  It just so happened 
that I put the same quick test hack to get something working along side a 
lot of those declarations.  The hack involved "casting" a variable to 
volatile so it didn't get optimized away (in lieu of real synchronization 
on a shared data value).  Of course it worked fine in the quite forgiving 
MSDev environ, but GCC complained about the cast.  Sorry for the faulty post.
