fix: lock source to ensure no double reads happen #4
Conversation
When the source is read very fast while the file descriptor is still being opened it can come to double reads of chunks of the file. This introduces a lock to avoid this issue.

Currently the tests for termination are failing, because the locking causes the abort only to be propagated after the previous read is done. I would appreciate some input on how to best solve this. |

Not a 100% sure this is the best solution, for the issues I'm seeing. Any feedback and ideas very welcome 💭 |

calling read in parallel is not a valid pull stream, this is a bug in the sink not this module. maybe what would help is a spec-stream you could drop in to debug the sink? |

what happens if a termination signal skips the lock?
something like:
var lockedSource = function (end, cb) {
if (end) return source(end, cb)
lock('source', function (release) {
source(null, release(cb))
})
}

clarify: except you can abort out of term. but not do a valid read out of turn. |

@dominictarr thanks for pointing my nose into the right place, it was a bug in my code. Closing this PR. |
