Ahem, yes. Good catch. Although it doesn't undermine the original
theory ("KEY should match LOOKUP_PATH"), it does invalidate the
analysis above. Here's a new one:

That part of the function deals with locks on *children* of PATH.
LOOKUP_PATH grows a trailing slash in order to perform prefix filtering
on the table's keys --- see the strncmp() call. I guess the bug would
appear when /A2 and /A/mu are both locked, and the while() sees /A2
before /A/mu.

Thanks,

Daniel
