I don't mean to pick what might seem like a nit, but how is InterlockedXxx not a lock?

I looked at a couple of lock-free collection implementations (Richter's PowerThreading Library, Lock-free LIFO Stack http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/05/CLRInsideOut/default.aspx#S7 , etc.) based on InterlockedCompareExchange. All of them have potential of going into infinite loop in Push/Enqueue/Pop/Dequeue methods. Although the probability is very low it still exists. Has anyone ever thought of/implemented a fix for it? Or am I missing something obvious? Alex
