ok, im not sure the reasons, i dont know enough about this atomic 
thingy, but could that be done later ?
How does that prevent changing  malloc() to _al_malloc() ?

At a later time, the _al_malloc()'s could be reviewed to decide which 
ones need to be changed to _al_malloc_atomic()

Who can perform this 10 minute shell script job ?
