bugfix: mutex was invalidly left unlocked during action processingv5.8.2
At least one case where this can occur is during thread shutdown, which may be initiated by lower activity. In most cases, this is quite unlikely to happen. However, if it does, data structures may be corrupted which could lead to fatal failure and segfault. I detected this via a testbench test, not a user report. But I assume that some users may have had unreproducable aborts that were cause by this bug.
