I don't doubt you.

I'm just going off user reports which claim that they do not see this 
problem in gcc 3.2.  Perhaps
it just wasn't actually being executed in their application.  Perhaps 
the i386 atomicity code just
finally got used in the subset libstdc++ that their application actually 
uses around 3.2.

Doesn't matter really.  It was broken and will be fixed in 3.3.  As 
callous as it sounds, I don't
care how long it was broken as long as it will be fixed in the next release.
