Here's mail i received today about that article:

From: Devils-Hawk <devilshawk@inode.at>
To:  rane@gentoo.org
Subject: BUG in POSIX threads explained, Part3
Date: Thu, 08 Sep 2005 14:54:37 +0200
User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.6 (X11/20050906)

in int control_destroy() you call pthread_cond_destroy() twice, but
never call pthread_mutex_destroy().
Really nice tutorial though, keep up the good work!

regards K. Schnass

Problem is in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/l-posix3.xml, line 248-250.
Report seems reasonable, but i'm waiting for other doc devs opinions. :)

Guys, please, before touching the articles, think about if we are going to
support *all* the bugs related to ibm articles content. 

They are not official gentoo docs and aren't focus on gentoo (most of them). 

IMHO, we shouldn't touch them.

I think it's okay as far as the fix isn't a re-write :) All these are one/two
liners and don't really take up resources IMHO...
