Fixed.

And create two loops, one for each case? Might complicate the code for 
little benefit IMHO, but please elaborate if I missed your point.

Actually my algorithm is broken to start with - and dangerous, as the 
missed mutex_unlock() you spotted later testifies. I will rewrite it in 
a (hopefully) sounder way.

Fixed.

Again, wouldn't that require two separate loops?
