Would someone else (other that Mitsuharu) please study this
patch to check whether it is really correct?  Things like this
can be tricky.

I found a possible problem, which may or may not be relevant to this
issue, in the initialization of the recursive mutex in src/gmalloc.c.
Could you try this patch?
