[M3devel] Latest ThreadPThread

[Tony Hosking]

Jay, I am curious why you are using atomic operations for INC and DEC  
of inCritical (on WIN32/WIN64).  In general, they are protected by an  
appropriate lock, so I don't know what the need is.  Are you trying to  
move towards lock-free implementations of some of the thread primitives?
