The problem does occur in Head. I've discovered a way to reproduce it easily 
so I won't need another backtrace after all.

I think I'll try and fix this at the weekend. Now I'm able to reproduce the 
problem it should be a little easier. The locks may be the correct solution, 
it certainly shouldn't have been written without locks at least, but I'd like 
to work out the exact mechanism behind the problem. It would seem that some 
cleanup may be needed when we switch decoders.
