In NMT, we can unfortunately reach a recursive locking situation in situations when the VM is crashing and NMT attempts to perform a error report. I suggest that we make this particular mutex recursive, until we can resolve the design issues that causes this.

Afshin's description is correct. It would be preferable to have a recursive mutex in this case, imho. It's unfortunate that we have to implement another type of lock.
