If you mean mutex locks, maybe they did.  OpenLDAP code generally
doesn't check ldap_pvt_thread_*() for error return:-(

You can turn on assert(success) inside these calls with

  ./configure CPPFLAGS='-DLDAP_THREAD_DEBUG=2 -D_GNU_SOURCE'
  make -s
  LDAP_THREAD_DEBUG=nocount nice make test

_GNU_SOURCE is for Linux.  But there might be some assert crashes
during shutdown after failure, in particular in slap tools.
