Based on the thread 13 stack trace, it looks to me like we're calling dlopen
directly, when we should somehow be arranging to call GC_dlopen. GC_dlopen is
included in the GC to avoid this sort of deadlock.
(The way GC_dlopen does this is by waiting for, and then disabling, GC during
dlopen. That's not a great solution, since it can cause unneeded heap growth
in the presence of frequent dlopens. It should perhaps conditionally trigger a
GC before disabling it. But in any case, calling GC_dlopen is much better than
generating a deadlock.)
