Rainer Gerhards 4c96ebdcfe bugfix: potential race condition when adding messages to queue
There was a wrong order of mutex lock operations. It is hard to
believe that really caused problems, but in theory it could and with
threading we often see that theory becomes practice if something is only
used long enough on a fast enough machine with enough CPUs ;)

/* This header supplies atomic operations. So far, we rely on GCC's
* atomic builtins. During configure, we check if atomic operatons are
* available. If they are not, I am making the necessary provisioning to live without them if
* they are not available. Please note that you should only use the macros
* here if you think you can actually live WITHOUT an explicit atomic operation,
* because in the non-presence of them, we simply do it without atomicitiy.
* Which, for word-aligned data types, usually (but only usually!) should work.
*
* We are using the functions described in
* http:/gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Atomic-Builtins.html
*
* THESE MACROS MUST ONLY BE USED WITH WORD-SIZED DATA TYPES!
