I accomplish a similar functionality with an sh function for use in scripts:
newmh ()
{
local oldContext="${MHCONTEXT-context}";
local path=`mhpath +`;
export MHCONTEXT=,"$oldContext.$$";
cp "$path/$oldContext" "$path/$MHCONTEXT"
}
Note that there are still race conditions in this. True, they're small, but still larger than "we never touch the context at all".
