For example when we want to lock the mutex, that can't fail in POSIX, it will just deadlock if we're recursively locking our own mutex, which in Rust's model is fine... too bad Sun didn't agree and so it fails instead.

_ = libc::pthread_mutex_lock(raw(self)); // Should be fine, but instead there's a whole mess
