This reopens the race condition window that ITS closed. If a trylock is
required then we must find some other way of asserting that the socket
is either not enabled while the lock is held, or that any messages
received while it is locked is acted upon.
I have run test050 with this patch, and see the same failures as in
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200809/msg00051.html
I thought the errors was due to some recent changes in the code, but it
appears to be the populating of consumer2 added in revision 1.11 of
test050 itself that triggers it. I.e, the actual bug can have been
there for some time :-(
AFAIR, writing to consumer2 was exactly added to trigger an issue that
test050 was hiding in its initial form.
