That's indeed rather odd. For one the relevant code does nothing but
lock/unlock a spinlock. For another, there's been no recent change to

I'd noticed this one as well. This sounds like a installation problem,
not really ours. Dave, any chance you could look into this, or give
somebody an account to test what's up?
