One note about the bug: If you are using POSIX mutexes (which don't
provide hideous recursive mutexes as SUSv2 does), then you should
only be bit by this bug under two circumstances:
1) the program is flawed and attempts to recursively lock
a non-recursive mutex without expecting this possibility;
2) the program attempts to recursively lock a non-recursive
mutex and expects a proper error message to be returned
