+FUNCTION
+<<__malloc_lock>>, <<__malloc_unlock>>--lock malloc pool
+
+INDEX
+	__malloc_lock
+INDEX
+	__malloc_unlock
+
+ANSI_SYNOPSIS
+	#include <malloc.h>
+	void __malloc_lock (void *<[reent]>);
+	void __malloc_unlock (void *<[reent]>);
+
+TRAD_SYNOPSIS

+
+DESCRIPTION
+The <<malloc>> family of routines call these functions when they need
+to lock the memory pool.  The version of these routines supplied in
+the library does not do anything.  If multiple threads of execution
+can call <<malloc>>, or if <<malloc>> can be called reentrantly, then
+you need to define your own versions of these functions in order to
+safely lock the memory pool during a call.  If you do not, the memory
+pool may become corrupted.
+
+A call to <<malloc>> may call <<__malloc_lock>> recursively; that is,
+the sequence of calls may go <<__malloc_lock>>, <<__malloc_lock>>,
+<<__malloc_unlock>>, <<__malloc_unlock>>.  Any implementation of these
+routines must be careful to avoid causing a thread to wait for a lock
+that it already holds.
