The new version of the patch I sent today has no thread primitives.

On systems that already provide vasprintf() we already detect that in
autoconf and use it.  This discussion is only about the thread-safety of our
replacement version, for systems that don't have it.

Now that Freddy applied my patch, I think we're done with this issue.

I haven't been following this thread too closely, can someone give me a
quick summary on this?  I'd rather not have any thread primitives in the
library if we can avoid it even if it does mean implementing our own on
those platforms that don't have a suitable reentrant function. And if we
have suitable functions on different platforms (Tru64 has X, linux has Y,
HP/UX has Z) can we wrap them and use autoconf to test?
