Geoff,
I'll have Brian tryout your patch with our Java people and see if it solves
their problem. Meanwhile I will look at seeing if I can come up with a
patch that doesn't use __compare_and_swap for the lock release. I agree
that we would like to not change machine independent code but I think we
will have to change a line or two and we can #ifdef powerpc the code though
I hope I can find away around that.
