But why is libxml calling pthread_mutex_lock and such?  Unless libxml is
making itself multithread inside a backend, that shouldn't matter --
much less cause a crash.

Note (to the OP) that it's totally unexpected to have a Postgres backend
become multithreaded, and has been shown to be dangerous when a library
made it so.
