 This definitely is a bug in libc, in fact, not only memory leak,
 but also deadlock. Functions like fscanf, vfscanf will deadlock
 itself in threaded program, because __svfscanf() calls fread()
 which will recursively lock the FILE itself!
 
 Try following in threaded program:
 	fscanf(stdin, s, "%3c", t);
 It should deadlock itself.
 
 I am fixing it now.
