Calling pthread_cond_signal without holding the mutex is perfectly valid and
cannot result in signals being lost unless the implementation is buggy (which
glibc may be; see bug #13165). What it can result in, however, is deviation
from the expected priority behavior guaranteed by the priority scheduling
options of POSIX.
