pthread_mutex_unlock() is called, evidently from fileLock(), with an

NetBSD's pthread implementation differs from Linux in its intolerance
of such things. I have found errors where someone forgets that a mutex
was never used and tries to unlock it. I guess you could do that all day
long on Linux without noticing anything, but NetBSD aborts the program.
In the present case, I don't see anything like that wrong in rts/FileLock.c,
though. I'm stumped.
So I'm checking, has anyone else built 6.10 on NetBSD?
Could you (and anyone else on any operating system using pthreads)
please try to build with the patch below? It checks the return
values of pthread_mutex_lock() and pthread_mutex_unlock() by default
(even if DEBUG isn't defined) and contains some other uncluttering.
Seems to work fine here on OpenBSD (for ghc-head), but before I
send out a darcs patch, I'd like to see some results on other
systems.[1]
Of course, the patch won't fix the problem for NetBSD, but it may
give some more hints.
Ciao,
Kili
