Yep, but ...

It just makes backtraces huge. Obviously passing NULL to 
__pthread_mutex_trylock() isn't the problem, but probably just 
consequence.

Qt doesn't pass NULL, it's glib. It doesn't mean that problem may not be 
in Qt though. Just to be sure I tested these examples in some other 
platforms and all these examples work fine in Linux, OpenBSD and FreeBSD.

I updated static binaries tarball to include debug info from glib as well.
