I'm having second thoughts about this one.  There is a significant risk
of false positives if the mutex is currently locked by another thread.
I'm wondering whether to a) change the implementation so it only returns
true if the mutex is owned by the current thread, or b) change the
interface so you can specify a specific thread, or NULL for "any".
