Yes, I'm sure you did.  My recollection was that it was an
optimization only, but it seems either I misunderstood or my
recollection is poor (or both) :-)

OK, so we guard calls to threading routines with __isthreaded.  (Patch
below.)  Uglifies things a bit, but I can deal.  Maybe some day we'll
rewrite reentrant.h so that it doesn't lose the return code (they
should all be like mutex_trylock?).


So, if I understand correctly:

 (1)  __isthreaded starts out 0
 (2)  When a threading library is loaded (by any cause? DT_NEEDED?
      dlopen RTLD_GLOBAL? dlopen RTLD_LOCAL?), __isthreaded is set
      to 1
 (3)  When a threading library is unloaded, __isthreaded is reset to 0

Only, I don't immediately see where (3) happens...

Sean, could you report how this patch works for you?  Hmm, actually, it
looks almost identical to what you posted :-)  Is there a reason that
you stored the value of `__isthreaded' in a local variable?  Did that
make a difference for your case?

Cheers,
