      Description

      Globus has the concept of modules that may be activated. Unfortunately, this activation code is buggy as it is racy in multithreaded environments. This has been reported as issue 47:

      https://github.com/globus/globus-toolkit/issues/47

      In the mean time, there is a simple work-around. Adding a mutex to protect calls to `globus_module_activate` and `globus_module_deactivate`.

      I can provide a patch that adds this, but can't create pull requests within gitlab.
