small bugs.

readstr() can error, so you need to put a waserror() to do
the runlock(b).

i'm a bit confused about the boardclunk().

as i see it, the original Board *b would never be unlocked
if the loop condition was true.

as the loop at the bottom changes b to the parent.

then the final wunlock() at the bottom would unlock the
wrong thing?

also, the lock order seems strange. we'r here locking from
the bottom up to the root.

as long as we always lock from the bottom to up, we'r
fine, but if we have any case where we acquired parent
lock, and then try to aquire a child lock we have
a lock order violation that can lead to deadlock.

sorry, didnt have time before to code review.
