That is by design. Different threads can use the getXXent functions
together. Since these functions are not to be used anyway there is not
need to make this more complicated.
And now it is completely out of question to change this anyway, it
breaks the ABI which exists for more than 8 years now. There might as
well be code depending on this behavior.
