This hunk caught my attention. &data_ready is locked, but not released in
this function.

Looking more closely at the code surrounding this hunk, it seems that the
lock is released in a *different* thread than the one that locked it. This
works on Linux, but is not portable. We will have to use condition variables
like every one else does in a producer-consumer-like scenario.
