In r179417 the implementation of pthread_once in libthr was changed
from using a global pthread_mutex_t for synchronization to rolling its
own synchronization mechanism. Unfortunately, this introduced a bug.
Calling _pthread_mutex_lock implicitly ensured that _thr_check_init()
had been called. In the current version, there is no such guarantee.
This means that if your first call into libthr is pthread_once, your
executable will segfault when it tries to access curthread. This
patch resolves the issue for me:

If there are no objections I'll commit this soon.
