Brown Threads does pretty much everything you want; I don't recall who
developed them, so I can't point you in the right direction.

However, I don't think you should fool with printf, other than making
it reentrent (which, on most systems, it isn't). You don't always want
I/O locking at the level of printf - typically across multiple printfs.
Malloc, on the other hand, must be fixed.
