Attached is a patch that I hacked together based off
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2012-November/msg04029.html.
It seems to work for me, but I'm not sure whether it's the best way to
do it.

Description: Add call to XInitThreads() to prevent segfault
Currently pinpoint runs into a segfault in some Xlib code due to an
uninitialised mutex.
Add a call to XInitThreads() at the beginning of the program to ensure
Xlib mutexes are initialised correctly.
