   According to [1], list.pop() is thread-safe, so the lock should not be 
needed.
   However the documentation does not say that len(list) is thread-safe.
   If list.pop() does need to be protected by a lock, then surely [2] should be 
similarly protected?
   
   The FAQ [1] does say that incrementing an integer is not atomic, so the 
various global counts might not be incremented properly.
