The problem with the code is that pthread_cond_destroy() is a
cancellation point, because it can call sem_wait().
A weak workaround is to call
pthread_setcancelstate(PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE,NULL);
before pthread_cond_destroy()
BTW, pthread_cond_destroy is not in the list of cancellation points
(pthread_cancel.html).
I think that a destroy function should not be a cancellation point, else
cleanup routine can easy deadlock itself.
