Did you compile this version?

This looks suspicious.

Please, slow down and check the patches you sent.

Also, use, if not yet, --histogram when preparing patches, it might make them
more readable.

+ blank line.

Missing scope.

Since guard()() is not like lock/unlock, the blank line is better for
readability. lock/unlock scenarios look&feel as special scope, that's why
the blank lines there are optional.
