> In both NAKACK and UNICAST, we have atomic booleans, which are consulted before trying to acquire the lock. So if a lock is released eagerly in a ProtocolStack.down() call, although the lock is released, the atomic var isn't, and so subsequent threads will still not be able to process different messages.
> A simple solution would be to release the lock *and* the atomic var in down().
> OTOH, we should see whether we can use either locks or atomic vars, but not *both*.
> This will need to be redesigned anyway with scopes in place (https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-822).
