Abstract
Data is retrieved from a linked-list by locking the linked-list, retrieving data from an element in the linked-list, advancing to a subsequent element in the linked-list while a breakpoint is not encountered and marking the subsequent element as 'in-use' when a breakpoint is encountered. A reference to the subsequent element is then created before the linked-list is unlocked.
