I don't have an Opteron 270 to test this on, but it looks like something that
shouldn't happen, since the instruction you've 'locked' with your patch should
already be isolated with lock.__data.__lock.  If the patch actually works, then
this might possibly even be a cpu bug that we're patching.

If you can get someone from AMD to comment on this or give a rationale for why
the bug appears and why your fix works, then please post the patch on
libc-alpha for review.  You may want to follow the checklist here for your
patch submission:
