I wasn't aware that the pthreads had changed that much between 3.1 and 4.0.
The ldap_pvt_thread_mutex_destroy function (maybe you could get
openldap and bdb compiled with debugging) looks like it does a fair
amount of checking before calling the actual pthread_mutex_destory.
I'm hardly an authority, but I've been using openldap for a while and
feel compelled to defend them.  :)
