I've taken some time to check the mutex and locks/unlocks between the 
secondary thread and the idle function.  All appear as it should.  The 
locks/unlocks are being applied in an orderly fashion and as they should 
be, and there are no recursive locks.  The program flows as it should.

I still feel my problem has something to do with the secondary thread and 
idle function working together but at this point I'm not sure what to 
check next.
