If you're talking about the WIN32 CriticalSection functions, I don't know WIN32 well enough to be aware of all the subtleties. I am locking a large array that gets duplicated by a fork() and I did not want to run into any inheritance problems with WIN32 objects.

If you are looking for a fork save mutex try out the mutex class in thread.h.
To speed up the mutex operations change the type to PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
