Well, I guess it's something different then.

I took a look at tls_get_addr_tail, and the only lock it takes is the
loader lock. It also locks it with __rtld_lock_lock_recursive, which
means the thread can't self-deadlock.

The key question then is: what other thread is holding the loader
locked, and what prevents that other thread from completing whatever
loader operation it's in?
