pthread_mutex_trylock does not lock

[Chris Knight]

Hello,

I think I have found a problem in the "pthread_mutex_trylock" call.  When I
run the following code both the trylock and lock return immediately.  If I
compile this under RedHat 8 it works as I would expect with the trylock
locking the mutex and the lock stopping execution.

I am running the latest version of cygwin under Windows 2000 Pro with the
latest service packs.

#include <pthread.h>

int main (void)
{
 pthread_mutex_t accessMutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;

 printf ("Init\n");
 pthread_mutex_init(&accessMutex, NULL);

 printf ("Try lock(%d)\n", pthread_mutex_trylock(&accessMutex));

 printf ("Lock(%d)\n", pthread_mutex_lock(&accessMutex));

 printf ("We should never get here!");
}
