fixes #572 Several locking errors found
fixes #573 atomic flags could help This introduces a new atomic flag, and reduces some of the global locking. The lock refactoring work is not yet complete, but this is a positive step forward, and should help with certain things. While here we also fixed a compile warning due to incorrect types.
