Yup, newlib is heavy into reentrancy. However, _malloc_r isn't
exported by cygwin1.dll and cygwin doesn't expect your program to
replace it. I'm not sure how much of a "bug" this is, but I'm open
for suggestions. Might want to ask on the newlib list also, I'm sure
they have really good reasons to call the reentrant malloc.
