Welcome to the forum!

If Mutex::tryLock receives EDEADLK, it indicates an application error because it means an application thread is attempting to recursively lock a non-recursive mutex. It is appropriate for an exception to be raised in this case.

So, either there is a bug in the test suite, or the FreeBSD threading library is misbehaving. Can you build Ice in debug mode and provide a stack trace of the test failure? Note that you can run the test directly by executing test/IceUtil/thread/client.

Thanks,
- Mark
