This causes nsTraceMalloc not to allocate its PRLock, which in turn causes it to not protect its shared state. This is very bad for multi-threaded unit tests in DEBUG builds: the deadlock detector uses nsTraceMalloc to get backtraces. With new code I'm adding, I can cause an infinite loop in nsTraceMalloc due to state corruption in about 1/2 runs (on my machine with 16 HW threads).

This fails to link on OS X/Windows debug/libxul/tracemalloc, although everything is hunky dory on Linux for reasons beyond my ken. Looking into build hackery.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED → ---
I just confirmed that the OS X build error is caused by content/base/test *not* linking against libxul, while xpcom/test *is*. Trying to determine how it's magically working on linux.
With bug 529134, trace-malloc will be implicitly initialized, so this bug is no longer necessary. I really want RESOLVED -> SUBSUMED.
