You shouldn't have to call pthread_mutex_init() on a mutex
initialized with PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER.  Our implementation
should auto initialize the mutex when it is first used; if it
doesn't, I think that is a bug.

You _do have_ to lock the mutex before calling a condition
wait, however.  This is a POSIX requirement.
