I hate to do this to you again but the mutexes held count advice I gave was 
slightly off :|

See my track-mutexes-1.patch I recently posted.

Note the if !ret in mutex_lock_interruptible vs the if ret in mutex_trylock(

I really should have given you the original debugging code that went with it, 
sorry.
