This is what I am thinking, too. I am running it under helgrind. If you
do that, you'll see a couple of warnings, most have been found to be
harmless by previous analysis. Anyhow, I am re-doing the analysis now
(what takes quite a bit of time). I am just telling you so that you
don't wonder when you see so many warnings. I think there is even a
discussion thread somewhere telling why this is. Mostly it is cases
where we do not really need sync... or so I thought ;)
