Hi Stef,

I'm trying to build GnuTLS on windows using MinGW. Due to this I'm building p11-
kit to as I want to have the feature.

Just running:

./configure --enable-shared
make
make check

Indeed, "test-init.exe" is failing while initializing the module using threads.

What I see is that the first call of "p11_kit_initialize_module" succeeds but 
the second one fails. By the time the _p11_thread_join over the second thread 
tries to join, the CuAssertTrue at "initialization_thread" in the second thread 
was triggered.

I'm using a native windows (WinXP SP3) 32 bit machine.

Is there any findings on how this can be fixed?

Thanks,
-Pablo.
