I submitted a patch to use our own assembly primatives on Linux based on FreeBSD's atomic code. I know Thom spent some time trying to get it to work on the other platforms (i.e. cleaning up the #defines on the other platforms). However, this has all been sidetracked by the recent push to remove atomics entirely. I'm on the fence about removing it - I don't really care what happens, but people need to step up and get it fixed on Linux if it remains. -- justin
