I got a little fed up with all the locking, and decided to simplify.

This should still work, but I've only done some very simple tests.
I'm hoping it'll fix some of the weird corner cases that Ben and
others have found, which may be due to different locks in different
cases and things racing against each other ... I'm not convinced it
really will though, but hey, who knows :)
