Just for making things more clear: *I* added this unlock, not because I
knew what I was doing but simply because yeah, it looked like this place
might need it.


In theory oicks protects shared resources, so one thread may leave
object/variable around without worry another thread scheduled by kernel
will overwrite it.

But I do not know enough of details for carelessly altering locking like I
did. So, Phyllis removed this line on my request, because, I reiterate, I
put it there literally on a whim.
