Thanks for that.  With this in mind then, if I want to lock an object
other than "id" using nmap.mutex (allowing threads to run until they
reach a point where they need to use that object) then that object will
need to be one which is shared by all threads and thus available in
either nmap.registry or _G.  Is that correct?

Cheers,
