+        * ace/Timer_Queue_Adapters.cpp (ACE_Thread_Timer_Queue_Adapter::svc):
+        * ace/Timer_Queue_T.cpp (expire):
+          Temporarily release and reacquire the mutex around timer dispatch.
+          This prevents a deadlock on user code with multiple threads doing
+          timer-related operations.
