Pthread Fix

Posted by KennethLavrsen based on email from ChristopheGRENIER

Introduction

The pthread_cond_signal() routine is used to signal (or wake up) another thread which is waiting on the condition variable. It should be called after mutex is locked, and must unlock mutex in order for pthread_cond_wait() routine to complete.

Description of Patch

Please find a patch that add locking and unlocking of mutex each time pthread_cond_signal is called.

Testing from netcam users is welcome. Regards,

Christophe
