Thanks for testing this! Indeed according to "man pthreads" syslog is
thread safe, and it appears that this is just where we die due to bad
memory management earlier in execution, possible related to the string
building in libreswan_log() that causes us to call malloc() which when
trying to cleanup a bit finds the corrupted memory. (*** glibc detected
corrupted dluble linked list ***)
