pthread_broadcast was broken. This patch fixes it for the testcase
reported by Greg Smith. I've also introduced per-cond variable locking
to make broadcasts atomic. There are still races present, however the
worst case is an occasional dropped signal. (And note that to trigger
the race, the users code must be such that the signal could be missed
_anyway_ ).
