It has been suggested that the logic in Posix::wait could lead to an unlock of a not-locked mutex. If this happens at runtime, rtapi_app will now abort. Note that as this lock is only used for sim / non-rt situations, this cannot affect people running on hardware. By setting RTAPI_LOCK_FAIL in the environment, you can check that the checking works, by causing a "lock while already locked" type error.

It has been suggested at #912 that there may be a case where "you will simply try to unlock unlocked mutex which will generate undefined behavior". By switching from normal to error-check, we will get an error result instead, which will promptly cause rtapi_app to abort.
