Hi,
I'm having a problem with mutexes.

In one thread T1 I have:
while(!end)
{
/* TTT */
lock lk(mutex);
dosomethingquick();
}

In another thread T2 I have:
void f()
{
lock lk(mutex);
doanotherthingquick();
}

I'm sure dosomethingquick returns but T2 can never acquires the mutex.
If I had a timer on line /* TTT */ in T1 (sleeps for a millisecond), everything works fine.

Can anyone understand such a behavior? Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks,
