Sorry for misattributing your work. To be even more precise, I was referring 
to your paper at last years IWOMP here, titled "The OpenMP Memory Model" and 
authored by Jay and you, as in this paper I usually try to find the answers 
to my memory model questions first (besides the spec, of course). Still a 
misattribution on my part, though, sorry about that.

Also thanks for teaching me about the memory model, I think I got it straight 
in my head again now, thanks to your help. As Georg pointed out in a 
different mail, the double-checked-locking pattern is broken beyond repair 
for C++ anyways, but still your answer helped a lot for my understanding of 
the memory-model.

I am still experimenting around with singletons and OpenMP and already have 
got the next problem, but that is a topic for a different mail alltogether.

Best regards from Germany,
