-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 libs/regex/src/static_mutex.cpp ignores nearly all failures from pthread_*
 functions. Functions include pthread_mutex_lock and pthread_mutex_unlock.

 BOOST_VERIFY is used for debugging and diagnostic builds, but no actions
 are taken for failures in release or production builds.

 Perhaps it would be a good idea to use boost/thread/pthread/mutex.hpp. It
 appears to have more stability and throws lock exceptions where
 appropriate.
