Making it a locked reference probably would be a good idea (although I personally think it will never actually matter in practice). Although on 32 bits (PAE) it can be more than one long, it doesn't matter because only the upper long can actually be modified. It does, however, complicate the actual code somewhat... I'll look at it tomorrow.
