Sorry, but no, the warning is not correct at all. The code path
deliberately does NOT take the lock and calls a function which is
currently annotated that the lock is _always_ taken. Therefore, the
warning is clearly a false positive and I see no reason in keeping it.
Hopefully this is fixed as John described earlier. Until then, I see no
point bothering people with false alarms.
thanks,
