Hi Michael, I've tried many times over the last several years to get proper priority inheritance support for pthread condition variables added to glibc. Unfortunately, I haven't convinced the powers that be to incorporate the proposed fixes. Since the failure scenario involves an opaque type and is rather non-intuitive, it was suggested (thanks Frank) that I attempt to at least document the behavior.
