Flags that shared mutexes will provide Solaris robust mutex behavior,
ie.
if a shared mutex is reused but is found to be locked in
pthread_mutex_init,
this checks if the owner still exists and puts the mutex in a consistent
state if not. Also, when locking the mutex check if the owner is dead
and 
if so allow it to be locked but return EOWNERDEAD status. 

Hope that this helps.
