When pthreads are enabled (default on Debian) and crypt
encryption is used, FreeRADIUS crashes.
The following patch fixes the bug :

}
It's obviously a mistake, which causes pthread_mutex_lock/unlock
to be called on an uninitialized mutex.
I've not been able to reproduce the crash recently, but I
experienced it only two days ago (tested on several OSes
and platforms, all the same).
