Hello,

is it a mistake to lock the same object more than once? That is:

lock (this) {
lock (this) {
...
}
}

Is the syntax correct? This seems to work...

It's not a multiple lock, it's a single lock. The runtime is smart enough to
realize that the calling thread already owns a lock on the reference, so one
lock is ignored. I'm not sure which lock though - possibly the inner.
