I assume I will find the answer to this right after hitting
"send", but my googling so far has turned up nothing.

Is there a way to turn on deadlock detection in the thread
library somehow?  I realize it would be slow, and possibly
change the behavior of my program so as to give a "false
negative", but I'd still like the option.

Sigh.    (note to self:  don't hold locks across a function,
unless you know exactly who and what that function will call).
