Seg-fault before main() with pthread

[Gerwin Pfab <pb at schenk dot isar dot de>]

Greetings!

I know that stdlibc++ is not thread safe at the moment, but does this
implie the following behaviour?

The following code crashes in the initialization phase with Segmentation
fault. Without libstdc++ the program runs correct and returns 42.

Environment: stdlibc++ (CVS1999-11-19), gcc2.95.2, Linux 2.2.10:
--Code------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <pthread.h>

struct foo {
  pthread_mutex_t lock;
  foo(){ pthread_mutex_init(&lock, 0); };
  int bar(void);
};

int foo::bar(void)
{
  pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
  // do something that should be locked
  pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
  return 42;
}

int main() 
{
  foo a;
  cout << a.bar() << endl;
}
--Code end------------------------------------

It was compiled this way:

g++ -c -pipe -Wall -g -pthread -I../../lib -I/opt/libstdc++/include/g++-v3
-o test.o test.cc
g++ -pthread -static -o test test.o  -L/opt/libstdc++/lib 

and this is the gdb backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Any idea what's going wrong here?

Thanks in advance
