I think you are applying a band-aid to a gaping wound.

This situation reminds me of the bad old days before glib-2.0, when glib and
gtk were not thread-safe, LinuxThreads was ass, and doing anything with
threading blew planet-sized chunks.  The background level of bugginess was so
bad that we could never tell where the bugs were, and added band-aid fixes
everywhere.

Now, we have the same situation with time determinism.  Nothing was designed to
be deterministic, none of the libraries we use are even remotely deterministic,
and we have very few tools to help us down this path.

I recommend starting with a deterministic general-purpose allocator.
