Log Message:
-----------
> win32 doesn't support a static initializer for mutexes, thus the first
> user must initialize the lock. The problem are concurrent "first" users
> - the pthread_mutex_t initialization must be synchronized.
> The current implementation is broken, the attached patches fixes that:
> mutex_initlock is a spinlock. If the pthread_mutex_t mutex is not
> initialized, then the spinlock is acquired, if the pthread_mutex_t is
> initialized if it's not yet initialized and then the spinlock is dropped.
