Hi Andrzej,

I have to say I don't think it's neither meaningful to acquire that mutex in

I do not understand what do you mean exactly. Could you please explain
it more?
What do you want to reference count?
I don't want to, but simply acquiring a lock which is a part of an
object being destroyed makes no sense. If something else has a reference
to the object you're screwed anyway; acquiring the lock does not help.
