 pthread_mutex_init() return value is not checked and if the mutex creation
 fails, the next pthread_mutex_lock() call result is undefined on some
 platforms.

 I think that it would be appropriate to throw an exception from the
 lightweight_mutex constructor if pthread_mutex_init fails.

 The problem is in

 boost/detail/lwm_pthreads.hpp
