[hunchentoot-devel] with-recursive-lock-held

[Hans Hübner]

Hi Nick,

thank you for your detailed report.  I think I have fixed the problem,
can you svn up and let me know if it works better?  If not, I'll hack
on it more so that things get back to a good state tonight.  Sorry for
the glitch.

Thanks,
Hans
