Subject: [PATCH] Mark shared variables as volatile

'n_waiting' and 'n_waiting_for_accept' may be accessed from mulitple
threads, and thus need to be marked as volatile to suppres certain
compiler optimisations. All uses are protected by a mutex, so we don't
need to worry about cache issues (added documentation for this as well).

This addresses bug #738.
