Uhm, okay, I'll explain what I'm doing. I'm writing a library somewhat like
FORTIFY if you've heard of it which catches all calls to
new/delete/malloc/free/calloc/realloc and adds stuff to a global linked
list, and checks for out of bounds writings and a lot of other stuff.

Now maybe it's not neccessary to have global read/write data, but I can't
think of any other way.

So to make this library thread-safe I now provide a couple of #defines for
disabling/enabling threads.

If you have any idea on how to improve this or any comment suggestions,
please let me know!
