engine_init fails randomly on mac os x

Description

The engine_init testcase randomly fails on mac os x 10.5.6. This could also be a problem on windows, free bsd and solaris. The issue is caused by the undefined behaviour of pthread_getspecific see ​Apple Man Pages

To prevent this error it is possible to remove the osync_client_shutdown(proxy->client) in line 1058 in opensync_client_proxy.c

This call causes a race condition which sometimes fails. If OSYNC_TRACE is set the race condition doesn't occur.
