Dear Greg!

The reason I did the test, and why I detailed the result is that I could
not reproduce any of the nasty things which can happen without locking.
I know that everyone suggests to use the lock, but following your
argument the test should have had a different outcome.

Any idea how to improve the test to realise potential data loss?  It
would convince me beyond "to be on the safe side".
