Yupp.  Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about PA-RISC assembly
(except that I spent a couple of hours diagnosing a a bug in
ocamlopt--showing that it was broken as designed 8-/).  I also don't
know if PA-RISC is actually a family of architectures with slightly
differing memory ordering and visibility rules.

Shall I upload a version with the asm mutexes enabled again?
