I'm not quite sure what you are asking here, but there has been a
change in all the synchronization code since 1.3.1. In 1.3.1 all
synchronization primitives had to be called with the scheduler lock
zero. In current versions this is not the case and synchronization can
be performed with the scheduler locked. This makes the scheduler
lock essentially a per-thread variable.
