Thanks, Michael. But I think before we ask other's for their time, I'll try to do my homework. So far, I am just guessing. As I now seem to be able to repro the problem, I can look further into it. Tomorrow, I'll first check what it takes to replace the atomic operations by mutex calls. I think that's quite some work, but hopefully I am wrong. Thanks to the info you provided, this seems to be useful work. I keep you posted.
