This is the "atfork" code, the one that causes all malloc locks to be dropped
in the child process so that malloc() will work there regardless of the state
of the parent. The fact that it's deadlocking in the code that is supposed to
remove locks so that it won't deadlock is a good irony.
Absent further proof to the contrary, this looks like a system bug.
