Fairly basic stuff .. make sure the name we are encoding doesn't vanish
under us.

Here's a replacement that is more paranoid about the locking as
suggested by Arjan. The whole current->signal-> locking is all deeply
strange but its for someone else to sort out. Add rather than replace
the lock for acct.c
