    From deuce@VERT to CVS commit on Sun Jul 5 02:07:34 2015
    src/conio bitmap_con.c 1.46 1.47 sdl_con.c 1.215 1.216 vidmodes.c 1.17 1.18 vidmodes.h 1.19 1.20
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/conio
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv15705

    Log Message:
    Improve the locking "stuff"...

    For regular vstatlock things, only hold the lock long enough to copy the variables that will be used.

    For vstat.vmem stuff, create a separate reference-counting vmem structure
    and a new vmem_lock so the memcpy() of the vmem won't block basic vstat accesses.

    This appears to fix the recently-added "blockiness" of screen updates in SyncTERM, without risking deadlocks or unlocked accesses... the major issue holding up a release.

    if this was to fix the 10 key part of the keyboard, it didn't work, you have to turn off the number lock to get it to work, on the 7/5/15 build.

    Nope, that's an SDL bug and basically unfixable as long as I keep using SDL 1.x. Essentially, SDL always assumes numlock is off when it starts, and every time numlock is pressed while the SDL app has focus, the state toggles.

    While platform-specific code could theoretically be added to check the numlock state, I don't really want to hold up the release due to this issue. I may or may not look into it further before the release.
