It looks like the application is being rather caviliar about its
thread management.  It's trying to unlock a mutex that hasn't
been locked. (of course, this "just works"(tm) on Linux.)

If you don't feel like debugging the problem, and reporting it
back the gtkpod developers, you can read the manual page for
pthread(3), and learn that setting the environment variable
``PTHREAD_DIAGASSERT'' to ``A'' will allow the application to
run.
