/// \par Warning
/// There could be a race condition, see bug "Race condition in RefCountedMTAdj::Release"
/// http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1408845&group_id=29557&atid=396644
/// As stated in bug 1408845, the Release function is not thread safe if a
/// SmartPtr copy-constructor tries to copy the last pointer to an object in
/// one thread, while the destructor is acting on the last pointer in another
/// thread. The existence of a race between a copy-constructor and destructor
/// implies a design flaw at a higher level. That race condition must be
/// fixed at a higher design level, and no change to this class could fix it.
