pthread_cond_destroy bug

I was running a tool recently that flagged some missing
LeaveCriticalSection() calls in pthread_cond_destroy().
These are the following two return calls after entering
the critical section:
if (*cond != PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER)
{
EnterCriticalSection (&ptw32_cond_list_lock);
cv = *cond;
/*
* Close the gate; this will synchronize this thread with
* all already signaled waiters to let them retract their
* waiter status - SEE NOTE 1 ABOVE!!!
*/
if (sem_wait (&(cv->semBlockLock)) != 0)
{
return errno;
}
/*
* !TRY! lock mtxUnblockLock; try will detect busy condition
* and will not cause a deadlock with respect to concurrent
* signal/broadcast.
*/
if ((result = pthread_mutex_trylock (&(cv->mtxUnblockLock))) != 0)
{
(void) sem_post (&(cv->semBlockLock));
return result;
}
I've fixed this in our local copy but thought I'd pass this along
for inclusion in the base code.
Thanks,
