The krb5 com_err is now also thread-safe (using different techniques,
probably) at this point; hopefully it would work fine.  I'd like to port
the thread safety to the e2fsprogs version as well, but untangling the
right way to do pthreads is daunting.

Also, you have to be doing kind of weird things to run into thread safety
problems with com_err anyway, although it's possible that AFS is doing
weird things.
