Btw., if you can think of any way to create a cleaner debug tool 
here i'd be glad to start a new tree that adds only _that_ tool - 
and that could perhaps be dealt with independently and possibly 
pulled upstream too, if clean enough.

The problem is, i think it would still quack like a global mutex, 
would walk like a global mutex and would look like a global mutex
