Without mutexes the same value may be printed multiple times.  (You may have to execute this command multiple times to see this occur.)

p := proc( m )
   global count;
   Threads[Mutex][Lock]( m );

   print( count );
   count := count+1;

   Threads[Mutex][Unlock]( m );
end proc;

Using a mutex allows you to control access to the shared variable.  Thus each number will be printed only once.
