pthread_cond_t start_cv = PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER;
pthread_mutex_t start_mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;

pthread_cond_t done_cv = PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER;
pthread_mutex_t done_mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;

pthread_mutex_t print_mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;


  Haven't even tried to run your testcase yet, but I've found static
initialisation of pthread_ types to be unreliable under cygwin; use the
pthread_XXX_init functions instead, and see if that helps.

    cheers,
