POSIX standard says: "Attempting to destroy a locked mutex
results in undefined behavior."
in general, you should not destroy any object unless you
are absolutely sure that no one else is using it and/or
no reachable refs/ptrs to it is left somewhere around.

Subject: destroying a locked mutex
Should pthread_mutex_destroy() return an error if the mutex is locked?
pthreads-win32 seems to disagree with the linux implementation of pthreads
on this point (OK on windows, not on linux).
