If an error occurs and a lazy-catch executes, is the mutex unlocked
for that handler?

The ones I've spotted are (I might have posted this before),

	gethostbyname
        getpwuid
	setpwent (etc)
	getgrgid
	setgrent (etc)
	setlocale
	scm_mem2symbol 

or scm_i_mem2symbol or whatever it is now.  I probably won't get a
chance to actually do anything about these.
