[Pianod] wsgw hanging on RasPi; deadlock?

[Peter Li]

Yes, that's basically the idea, although I think with a semaphore you 
can wait without spinning?

Although now that we're on the topic, I'm a bit confused by the mutex 
situation in wsgw as I thought the mutex is not supposed to be unlocked 
by a different thread than the one who locked it?  So maybe semaphore is 
more correct?

That would require the main thread to keep running and monitoring, whereas with the mutex solution, main doesn't have to spin.  If this wasn't what you were thinking, I'd be curious for details of your idea.  I'm new to pthreads too, so you may be onto something I don't know about.
