Yes, it seems that you're missing something.

http://www.boost.org/libs/thread/example/condition.cpp

But note that you don't really need to own the mutex ["predictable 
scheduling" aside] while signaling. Also, certain optimizations are 
possible for single-consumer and/or single-producer vs. the classic 
bounded buffer with multiple consumers/producers. Yeah, and you'll 
NEVER beat Ada's "proxy model"-monitors ("protected objects"). ;-)
