Subject: PR/20256 CVS commit: src/lib/libpthread
Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2005 00:07:24 +0000 (UTC)

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	chs
 Date:		Sun Oct 16 00:07:24 UTC 2005
 
 Modified Files:
 	src/lib/libpthread: pthread.c pthread_int.h pthread_mutex.c
 	    pthread_rwlock.c sem.c
 
 Log Message:
 in pthread_mutex_lock_slow(), pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock() and sem_wait(),
 call pthread__start() if it hasn't already been called.  this avoids
 an internal assertion from the library if these routines are used
 before any threads are created and they need to sleep.
 fixes PR 20256, PR 24241, PR 25722, PR 26096.
