Here's an example showing the difference when recursive locking is used:

DATA:
ObjectList: a b
fRecursiveLocks: 0
Objects in T0: b a
Objects in T1: b a a b
ANALYSIS:
SelfDeadlock: object 'a' in T1(ix=2) vs. T1(ix=1)
Result: Deadlock!

DATA:
ObjectList: a b
fRecursiveLocks: 1
Objects in T0: b a
Objects in T1: b a a b
ANALYSIS:
Result: No deadlock
