I have two related issues open on the Austin Group bug tracker:

http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=610
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=611

Unfortunately, I believe the current glibc behavior of not performing
appropriate locking is intentional, so that exit works even when locks
would/should block exit. This is contrary to the requirements of the standard
and harmful to applications that have expectations on the atomicity/integrity
of stdio operations performed under lock.
