pre-LilleHammer mailing deadline

[Boehm, Hans]

Doug -

One nit:

I would have phrased the guideline for volatiles as requiring that
variables "used for inter-thread communication" be made volatile.
For DCL, only the pointer or flag needs to be volatile, not the
data being initialized.  And that's essential.  If I hear no
objections, I'll change that.

Admittedly the rephrasing is more vague than the original, but that's
OK.
