This patch is a no-op really because the first thing OnError does is lock the mutex again. The mutex is recursive because some of these methods may be called from both locked and unlocked contexts. I don't think the proper fix will be much code if done right, but it may be fairly complex. I would have to look at the code to say for sure though. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/pull/247#issuecomment-119078745 ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the XROOTD-DEV list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=XROOTD-DEV&A=1
