+Robust mutexes are implemented within the PROCESS_PRIVATE scope. Robust
+mutexes are mandatory (SUSv3 2008) for implementations that support
+PSHARED objects and discretionary for those that don't. We still don't
+have PSHARED support but wanted to be source code compatible and they
+will hopefully nevertheless be useful for some applications. NOTE that
+pthread_mutex_*() functions may return different values for robust
+mutexes than they otherwise do in normal usage, e.g.
+pthread_mutex_unlock() is required to check ownership for all mutex
+types when the mutex is robust, whereas this does not occur for the
+"normal" non-robust mutex type.
+- Ross Johnson
+
+pthread_getsequence_np is implemented for source level compatibility
+with some other implementations. This routine returns a 64 bit
+sequence number that is uniquely associated with a thread. It can be
+used by applications to order or hash POSIX thread handles.

+robust mutexes under the same conditions.

<P>For speed, <B>Pthreads-w32</B> never checks the thread ownership

+of non-robust mutexes of type <B>PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL</B> (or
<B>PTHREAD_MUTEX_FAST_NP</B>) when performing operations on the
mutex. It is therefore possible for one thread to lock such a mutex
