If you stop and think about it for a second, the principal reason
mutexes, condvars etc were invented was to synchronise the operation of
separate threads competing for access to a common memory space.
So, it would be pointless having a mutex that was not thread safe. In
the Unix world at least these synchronisation primitives are all defined
in the _pthread_ library.
