[Asterisk-bsd] FreeBSD & -current

[Malcolm Davenport]

Howdy, 

-HEAD isn't going to work right now because FreeBSD, MacOSX, et al.don't
have support for recursive mutexes.  The stable branch should beokay to
use, as it does not make use of recursive mutexes.Give a look at the bug
report here:

http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0001411Where some work
has been done on the situation.  If you've got a chance, give the patch
a go and let them know your results.

Cheers.
