Hello John,

These seem to be well-known, per

This looks like #285.

The line numbers are a bit off, but this could be #269.

And this would be #240.

Since they are so commonly reported (but no deadlocks have been attributed 
to them), it seems likely that they are harmless.
Perhaps we should tell WITNESS to not warn about them ...
