Comment (by johnmaddock):

 Actually boost/thread/pthread/mutex.hpp uses BOOST_VERIFY for those
 operations, in particular since destructors should never throw exceptions
 it's hard to do much else for pthread_mutex_unlock.  In any case those
 types aren't useable in static initialization which is a requirement for
 Regex.

 I'll tighten up lock acquisition, and use BOOST_VERIFY in the lock free
 case.
