Yes, I was talking about the behaviour of threads in /nmap (rather than
in your branch) after the commit (r8377) you mentioned in [1] - which,
as you rightly say, wasn't a merge at all!  I did much of the mutex
stuff for whois.nse in your branch (I think I'd checked-out r8260) where
I noticed and subsequently worked around the undefined thread execution
order.  Whilst the workaround isn't currently necessary under /nmap, I'm
glad I was able to add it because the ordered presentation of results of
whois.nse was, until then, entirely dependent on ordered thread
execution and I'd not considered what would happen if that behaviour
changed.

Cheers,
