David, you specifically have been faced with this question before:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.programming.threads/browse_frm/thread/2184ba84f911d9dd/a6e4f7cf13bbec2d#a6e4f7cf13bbec2d
and you didn't dispute the interpretation then. The wording for
pthread_mutex_unlock hasn't changed between 2001 and now.
And here:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.programming.threads/msg/89cc5d600e34e88a?hl=en&;
If those statements were incorrect, I have a feeling someone would have
corrected them at the time. Certainly you can attest to that.

Clearly at this point there's nothing to be gained from pursuing this
any further. The 2.6 kernel has been out for too long; if it were to be
"fixed" again it would just make life ugly for another group of people,
and I don't want to write the autoconf tests to detect the
flavor-of-the-week. We've wasted enough time arguing futilely over it,
I'll stop.
