Yes, it's actually impossible with the current design, since there is no 
fork() on Windows and the shared variable make it dangerous to use 
threads instead. So the server runs in a single process with synchronous 
housekeeping. But I could reinstate the locks if you prefer, since they 
don't actually do any harm.

Cheers, Chris.
