It is. I introduced a autoconf check that is supposed to avoid just this
situation. So apparently it's not entirely reliable. With what
Machine/OS/Compiler combination are you seeing this problem? Also it
would probably be useful to see the part of config.log related to atomic
ops.
Unfortunately, I don't have much time this weekend to fix stuff. Should
I just roll back the change for the time being?

Cheers,

Niels
