Hello,

Olivier Dion <olivier.dion <at> polymtl.ca> skribis:

> If `join-thread' timeout, the thread mutex is not unlocked, resulting in
> deadlock to the next call to it or deadlock of the thread itself when it
> terminates.
>
> Thus, always unlock the mutex.
>
> Fix: #55356
>
> * module/ice-9/threads.scm (join-thread): Always unlock thread mutex.
> * test-suite/tests/threads.test (join-thread): New test to ensure the
> mutex is released
