Hi, I've seen you already disabled these lines on windows for now. Disabling 
that line may cause random (but probably seldom) deadlocks, so it should be at 
least marked with a fat @todo.

The problem is that the construct is used from multiple different places, so a 
backtrace would really be needed to at least have a clue of what's going on.
