Hi Jeff-

I have concerns about this approach.  Since it seems to work, my guess is
that there is a locking time difference on the Mac that leads to this
issue.  I think that we need to fix the context locking mechanism as there
is clearly a way to lock a context and not unlock it after.

Do you see the locking issue when running a debug build or only in Release?
