}

Is the above the actual snippet from the code?  If so, my guess is the typos ($conter_A, $conter_B instead of $counter_A & $counter_B) are throwing errors and the mutex is not getting freed, causing deadlocking in your app.  Removing the ns_mutex lines from the code wouldn't fix the errors, but the deadlocks would not occur.  Are there any errors in your server log during the times the proc_doc Y runs?
