As it run under Windows, it should be _compareAndExchange from
config/i386/win32/win32-md.asm.  But _this_ is not SMP safe as GCC
inlined version.

You should use `lock' prefix with `cmpxchg' instruction near line 88 but
as I don't remember the correct syntax, I can't send you a diff.

Could you try that and send me the correct line ?
