This must be the SIZE() macros in type_size_sort(), isn't it? I think
we hit the same problem (use of uninitialized mutex) in this same code
not long ago. I wonder if there's anyway we can reliably test and
catch this.

Maybe move the mutex to 'struct packing_data' and initialize it in
prepare_packing_data(), so we centralize mutex at two locations:
generic ones go there, command-specific mutexes stay here in
init_threaded_search(). We could also move oe_get_size_slow() back to
pack-objects.c (the one outside builtin/).
