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.

That reminds me...  someone at Plumbers (I'm pretty sure it was Thomas)
told me that the glibc maintainers have become much more responsive,
so maybe I should encourage you to try once again, when you find some
spare time :-), submitting to glibc.

I think Jan and I both intend to do this, but until such time as we can,
I'd like the docs to reflect reality.
