A good reason to abstract important and potentially "dangerous when
overlapped" stuff beforehand. Memory management is one good place to
implement access control around. Then, one can lock "memory management
control" mutex before going forward and stopping other threads, for
whichever vile reason he wants to do it.

I-am-not-a-C-programmer question: In threaded environment, is it
possible to overlap two malloc(), and what happens then? Is it
protected with some mutex like (IMO) stdin probably is?
