No, I hadn't read that before, it's an interesting article.  Thanks for 
pointing it out.  volatile plus LockingPtr does part of what I want, 
making sure a mutex is always locked before delivering a useable pointer.  
One thing I notice it doesn't do though, is verify that the same mutex is 
always used for a given object.
