_____________________________________________________________________________

The current requirements for pthread_mutex_init() were developed at a
 time when the C standard in force was C89, and as a result restrict
 initialization of mutex objects via the initializer
 PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER to statically allocated objects only.

 C99 now permits structure copying, thus allowing
 PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER to be used at other times.

 (Note, this aardvark is an action arising from the recent
 P1003.27 POSIX-C++ WG meeting, and is also relevant to the
 ISO C++ standard in development).
Desired Action: 
At line 52378, delete the words "that are statically allocated".
