I was not sure about recursive locks being included in the posix standard.
Looking at opengroup.org, it appears to me that this is now standard.

I will contribute this time the other way round.
I have recursive posix mutexes available on solaris 8, hpux-11.1, irix 6.5 and 
aix-5.3. sprocs - I never tried that appart from compile tests for osg.
Linux has of course ...
