with rev 1.2 of pthread_mutex2.c I'm seeing 'kicker' crash...

assertion "mp->type == PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL" failed: file "pthread_mutex2.c", line 200, function "pthread__mutex_lock_slow"
kicker: crashHandler called
KCrash: Application 'kicker' crashing...
assertion "mp->type == PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL" failed: file "pthread_mutex2.c", line 200, function "pthread__mutex_lock_slow"

from the KDE backtrace thing, I see (in part):
[KCrash handler]
#6  0xba676e67 in kill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12
#7  0xba92f458 in pthread__assertfunc () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0

Ideas? :)  ('kpanel' dies on startup now, which is somewhat less 
useful than before :( )

Later...
