I cautiously think this is a Good Thing. My hesitation is that
lockMessages is critically important in being able to rescue stacks
that have been set into infinite loops in resize and preopenstack
handlers, etc. I realize that this change won't affect those because
they're system messages and so would be masked, but I keep thinking
that *somehow* there's a way to get into trouble. But since I can't
come up with a problem situation right now, I'll give this one thumb
up and cross the other one behind my back. Ouch.
