locking would already do the trick: One lock to protect the image lists
and one lock per image.
There are even TODOs in the runtime_loader's elf.cpp (added by you about 3
years ago) about improving the locking :)
Is there any chance you or anyone else sufficiently skilled could fix this
in the next few weeks? If not I could take a stab, but low-level stuff
like this isn't my forte. I'm taking a look at alpha4 marked issues,
though I suppose this could be ignored for alpha4. It is annoying but it
happens pretty infrequently in my testing.
