/* A pth mutex isn't sufficient to model the Python lock type
 * because pth mutexes can be acquired multiple times by the
 * same thread.
 *
 * The pth_lock struct implements a Python lock as a "locked?" bit
 * and a <condition, mutex> pair.  In general, if the bit can be acquired
 * instantly, it is, else the pair is used to block the thread until the
 * bit is cleared.
