Summary: thread safety of playerc_client_writepacket

Initial Comment:
We've got a player client with two threads: one for sending commands, and one for receiving data.  The two threads use the same playerc_client_t and are in PULL mode.  In pull mode, the player client sends a packet, so in our multi-threaded client, it occasionally collides with sending a command, causing the player server to receive an invalid packet and crash.  I've attached a patch to fix this.
