Semaphores / Locks?

Very handy things, as long as you can use them, that is.  Just aquire
a lock when a request is made to modify any of the objects.  If
something else comes along and tries to lock it, it is blocked until
whoever has the previous lock releases it (is done with the objects.)

Of course, there is always the case that I totally missed the problem
you are trying to solve...
