85 // result in a deadlock under Unix). Locking a recursive mutex in such

89 // However recursive mutexes have several important drawbacks: first, in the

93 // deadlock under other Unix versions (e.g. Solaris). As it might be difficult
94 // to ensure that a recursive mutex is not used with wxCondition, it is a good
95 // idea to avoid using recursive mutexes at all. Also, the last problem with
96 // them is that some (older) Unix versions don't support this at all -- which
97 // results in a configure warning when building and a deadlock when using them.
