  -----------
  Fix race condition during startup.
The problem with the code is subtle.
The globals are refetched after the critical section is left,
however a race still exists if many threads are created right
at startup, the overwrite of slots outside the lock can result
in preexisting threads (that were just prior created) being lost.
