We should probably keep the pthread_atfork() call prior to releasing init_lock (just need to move it up a couple of lines). Although jemalloc cannot completely prevent races between allocator initialization and fork(2), it can at least prevent races if all threads allocate prior to the fork().
Thanks,
Jason
