Note on race condition and deadlock between ODB lock and SYSMSG lock in cm_msg()
In December 2010/January/February 2011 I identified and fixed a number of race conditions and deadlocks that were severely affecting the T2K/ND280 experiment in Japan. Removal of these problems was an important improvement to MIDAS. To remember lessons learned and to avoid having these problems come back, I document the relevant information in this wiki.
