Is it okay to clone this from within the thread?

The reopen() appears to mess with AH->FH, which mutltiple threads are 
calling fclose on.  The second thread is going to fail and the first 
fclose() will close the main threads handle.

+ #ifndef WIN32
+     if (fclose(AH->FH) != 0)
+         die_horribly(AH, modulename, "could not close archive file: %s\n",
+                      strerror(errno));
+ #else

How are things failing?  Core dump, maybe you are seeing the above 
error?  The non-windows path is safe from this because a) it never does 
an fclose and b) its a fork and has its own copy of the FH.
