One time. Also, I think that could be removed with some care.

  But it unconditionally calls a memory barrier, which is most of the cost of an un-contended futex-style lock already. And I'd be interested in your ideas on removing the lock - as I can't see any paths that don't change semantics (e.g. unconditionally doing the init work at process start time when you know there's not multiple threads, for example)

I was thinking (but I've not checked yet) that when `my_environ` is not set up yet then `getenv()` can use `_environ` directly.
