Dennis,
The build output from my Windows build contains the line:
Compiling: sal/osl/w32/profile.cxx
There appear to be three different implementations of the profile
module, profile.c for "os2", profile.c for "unx", and profile.cxx for
"w32". Only the "unx" version has pthread_mutex operations, including
our null point de-reference.
Patricia@Jan2014Desktop /cygdrive/c/OpenOfficeDev/Trunk/main/sal/osl
$ grep -c pthread_mutex */profile.c */profile.cxx
os2/profile.c:0
unx/profile.c:33
w32/profile.cxx:0
All three are significantly different. I think I should next try to
understand the difference in thread operations between them.
I'll look at SVN logs to see if there is any informative history. Is
there any write-up I should be reading on how threading is managed on
the different systems?

Patricia,
Take a look at main/sal/inc/osl/profile.h
Methinks that the code identified in
<https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126669> might not be built for
current releases on Windows or Linux. You'll see that there are filename suffixes
such as .rc and .ini used. I doubt that has anything to do with handling profiles
now.
Is there a way we can check that the code is not built and/or and these profile
functions are not used?
I don't know about builds for OS/2 and other downstream builds that we don't
make ourselves.
And if the code is really obsolete, we should prune it from trunk and source
releases.

I sympathize with Pedro's observation.
Meanwhile, although I am not an expert, I could stand to buddy up on
the following profile-related situation:

Looks interesting. I am familiar with pthread and memory management
issues, so it may be a good area for me to work on.
