Indeed, the mutex is not initialized at all. The below is a possible,
minimal, fix (for sure we are a long way from a well tested and
optimized implementation). Can you test it (*) with your application??

(*) Just in case: given the structure of the library, rebuilding
compiler and library is not necessary, simply patching the concerned
header file in its installation place will do.
