I do not really understand why this is happening, but there has been
a report of mutexes going into deadlock. There is a patch in the
current snapshot (will be 2.1.8 tomorrow) to avoid this, but only on
systems supporting the full and current POSIX threads (solaris doesn't).

You could let me know if that helps.
