I found the bug.  It's that malloc_enable_thread doesn't get called in 
batch mode, because of the following in emacs.c:

#if defined (HAVE_PTHREAD) && !defined (SYSTEM_MALLOC) && !defined 
(DOUG_LEA_MALLOC)
  if (! noninteractive)
    {
      extern void malloc_enable_thread (void);

      malloc_enable_thread ();
    }
#endif

Removing " if (! noninteractive)" solves the problem.  Will it break 
something else?  I have no idea why malloc_enable_thread was only being 
called in the interactive case.

Ken
