POSIX compliance: pthread_mutex_trylock()

hello,

I am working on the Open POSIX Test Suite project at
http://posixtest.sourceforge.net
I ran the POSIX compliance tests upon 

ngpt-2.2.0
kernel-2.4.18
glibc-2.2.93-5

There seemed to be an error in the function pthread_mutex_trylock().  The
test initializes a mutex object (using PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER), locks the
mutex, and then tries to lock the mutex again using pthread_mutex_trylock().
The expected result is to return an error code of EBUSY, instead it returns
EDEADLK (35).

The test that I am using to reproduce this issue is part of the POSIX Test
Suite project http://posixtest.sourceforge.net under
posixtestsuite/conformance/interfaces/pthread_mutex_trylock/4-1.c  (pasted
the code below)

Error message received was: "Expected 16(EBUSY), got 35"

thanks,

Rolla Selbak

 * Test that pthread_mutex_trylock()
 *   Upon failure, it shall return:
 *   -[EBUSY]   The mutex could not be acquired because it was already
locked.

 * Steps: 
 *   -- Initilize a mutex object
 *   -- Lock the mutex using pthread_mutex_lock()
 *   -- Try to lock the mutex using pthread_mutex_trylock() and expect EBUSY
