Comment:

 Recursive mutexes are not usable with condition variables in POSIX for
 some good reasons. For instance, if a recursively locked mutex were used
 with a condition variable, the unlock performed for a condition wait would
 not actually release the mutex, no other thread can satisfy the condition
 of the predicate, and the thread would wait indefinitely.
