I believe this is still true w.r.t Windows allowing recursive mutexes, while pthreads doesn't. However, I doubt this is relevant to the instability under Windows, as the code started out under Linux, if code was such that a single thread was entering the same mutex then Linux would just deadlock, unable to acquire the same mutex twice. I'm not getting deadlocks. Perhaps one things that is being stressed more know is the general thread safety osgDB::Registry and the plugins, as the new DatabasePager allows multiple loads to be running in a parallel.
