Recursive mutexes are a bad thing. They were invented for DCE by
David Butenhof of Digital (back when it was called that) so that
a single global mutex could wrap around all stdio function. I know
Dave has since apologized for them. :)
Yes, they can be convenient, but only in the way "long ulParam"
can be conveniently cast to "void*" ...
