Audacity crashes when opening a WAV file. To reproduce, try: audacity file.wav
It ends up catching SIGABRT. Setting a breakpoint at abort() reveals the abort() call comes from pthread_mutex_unlock(). Audacity is trying to unlock an unlocked mutex. The faulty code calls the mTasksMutex.Unlock() function twice. The corresponding code in Audacity trunk seems to have been fixed: http://code.google.com/p/audacity/source/browse/audacity-src/trunk/src/ondemand/ODManager.cpp?r=r11963#269 The diff below fixes the port (which needs an update to the current release but that's for another day). ok?
