I didn't write the OSThreads.h patch because i was bored ;-)

I still don't understand why this failure does happen at all.
Running a build with -DLOCK_DEBUG may help to discover what's going
on, but you'll need a lot of disk space for the build log. I can't
help here much, because I'm running OpenBSD, so MacOS X and NetBSD
users have to step in.
