About my new scalable FIFO fair lock

Hello,

I have just corrected a bug in my new scalable FIFO fair lock,
and i have tested it thoroughly and it is stable now,
other than that as you have noticed i am using a
FIFO queue that uses a Ticket spinlock with a proportional,
but to  optimize it more for speed you can use a waitfree queue.

Why have i invented my new scalable FIFO fair lock and
have i not used just a TicketSpinlock with a proportional backcoff ?
cause wioth the TicketSpinlock if the time in the critical section
becomes bigger then the proportional backoff will not be able to
do its job correctly and the TicketSpinlock will not scale to more and 
more cores...

You can download my new scalable FIFO fair lock version 1.01

Thank you,
