Hi David.

While you at libthr... I found implementation of
_pthread_mutex_isowned_np(), which makes me wonder:

int
_pthread_mutex_isowned_np(pthread_mutex_t *mutex)
{
        struct pthread *curthread = _get_curthread();
        int ret;

        if (__predict_false(*mutex == NULL)) {
                ret = init_static(curthread, mutex);
                if (__predict_false(ret))
                        return (ret);
        }
        return ((*mutex)->m_owner == curthread);
}

When init_static() fails, the caller will interpret the answer as 'true',
which seems wrong. What does this if statement do exactly? It
initializes mutex if it isn't? If so, can't we simply assert that it has
to be initialized?
