The situation I was worried about is that if two threads hit the
breakpoint in your function simultaneously, you can't tell which hit
the breakpoint _first_ -- hence no strict serialization. However, you
can still recover all the data from the function calls just fine and
as long as you don't care about the ordering between these two
function calls you are fine without a mutex.
