Heads up on the last (hopefully) OSX issue

Hi,

In case someone has an idea while I'm away to bed, the apparently last
bit of failure I have with jemalloc 2 and Firefox is a deadlock
situation on fork in a specific unit test program that does fork().
As far as I can see from a quick debugging session, pthread_atfork is
called only once, but jemalloc_prefork is called twice without
jemalloc_postfork_parent being called in between, which explains the
deadlock.

Cheers,

Mike
