Synopsis: pthread(3): pthread manpages don't mention that PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER may leak memory

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: bcr
State-Changed-When: Fri Jul 9 21:41:37 UTC 2010
State-Changed-Why: 
I talked with das@ about this issue. According to him, the pthread man page
is currently not written with the goal of teaching people how to use pthreads.
The addition you're proposing would be a little out of place, perhaps a 
good book about that subject would be a better way to gain such knowledge.
If anyone is willing to write much more detailed man pages on pthreads, we
would be glad for this contribution. But as far as this PR is concerned,
we agree that it would be best to close it for now.
