Hello,
I will probably be releasing Bacula version 1.38.6 this weekend. If any of
you are using 1.38.6-beta6, I would recommend that you apply the attached
patch, which corrects a mutex initialization bug. This bug probably only
affects *BSD users. If you are not currently having problems, you can
probably wait for the official release. More details on the patch and how to
apply it are in the patch file.

This patch fixes a bug where a mutex was used before it
was initialized. This apparently was no problem for Linux,
but created a crash on Win32, and would probably also cause
problems on FreeBSD and other OSes with strict mutex checks.
Apply it to the 1.38.6-beta6 source directory with the
following:
cd <bacula-1.38.6-beta6>
patch -p0 <1.38.6-beta6-mutex.patch
make
make install
