This reopens the race condition window that ITS closed.  If a trylock is 
required then we must find some other way of asserting that the socket 
is either not enabled while the lock is held, or that any messages 
received while it is locked is acted upon.

I have run test050 with this patch, and see the same failures as in 
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200809/msg00051.html
I thought the errors was due to some recent changes in the code, but it 
appears to be the populating of consumer2 added in revision 1.11 of 
test050 itself that triggers it.  I.e, the actual bug can have been 
there for some time :-(
