do a cvs update to get a new mailbox/include/misc.h
and in your config.h make sure that HAVE_PTHREAD_H is undef.
and WITH_PTHREAD is als not define.

I have an old RedHat 6.0(or was it 5.{2.3} ?).  The code to provide
more thread-safe and concurency uses read/write mutex lock.
pthread_rwlock_lock() etc ...

To get those definitions I had to set
#define __USE_UNIX98
before every 
#include <pthread.h>

This seem to give you problems on new pthread package.

What box are you using ?
