Fixed in 30c5982a9548a0ca0ea46111beb490f06d74a40a.

FYI, the patch you provided was not sufficient, because it neglected to
arrange for HAVE_USELOCALE to be set by configure.  This meant that the
thread-aware locale API would _never_ be used.

These commits are on the stable-2.0 branch and will be included in Guile
2.0.12.  I'm closing this bug now.

     Thanks,
       Mark
