This method tries to ensure that a CU isn't processed twice, using the
'scanned' field.  Do you know why this isn't working?

Tom> Fix this by guarding the write with a lock.

I would rather we avoid locks.  Ideally the existing exclusion mechanism
should be made to work, but if that fails, perhaps we can use another
atomic.
