Sadly we do.

We need to deal with the two things that cause allocation in our code (because
they loop back into our code via malloc()->malloc_init()->pthread_mutex_init() ).

The first one was the glibc trick to avoid the malloc() caused by dlsym(). The
second one is the malloc() we do when we allocate new lock. Static allocation
deals with that one.


Thanks,
Sasha
