That's not true if there is a connection being made while it is being
free()d or it's being allocated in two threads, etc.  Unless I missed
something, that is.

On a second thought, seeing how both _pfnInitialize and _pfnUnintialize
(each called in virConnectOpen/Close respectively) obtain a mutex on
g_pVBoxGlobalData, I think my original statement holds true, that is,
ignoring the unsafe allocation of the global as you pointed out
earlier.


They can't take mutex on g_pVBoxGlobalData if it is not initialized
(allocated) yet.  Or is there another one?
