mutex_lock_real: Managed to lock the mutex twice!

folks,

I'm having an issue while using gwlib.
Under heavy load under multi CPU systems (intel and powerpc), We're  
seeing the error "mutex_lock: Managed to lock the mutex twice!"

The issue is that it is being called by a normal debug() statement.

The only mutex lock generated in debug()  is gwlist_lock(writers) and  
I have so far not been able to figure out any theoretical scenario  
where this could occur except when debug would call debug again but  
this can not happen. It can call panic  under some rare scenario  
which would then lock again but we already fixed that by having panic  
not considering locking writers (there's no point as we will exit  
afterwards immediately anyway).

Anyone have a hint?
