Dammit:

CID 1107596: Data race condition (MISSING_LOCK)

/repair/progress.c: 127 ( missing_lock)
   124    	 */
   125    
   126    	pthread_mutex_init(&global_msgs.mutex, NULL);
>>> CID 1107596: Data race condition (MISSING_LOCK)
>>> Accessing "global_msgs.format" without holding lock "msg_block_s.mutex". Elsewhere, "global_msgs.format" is accessed with "msg_block_s.mutex" held 2 out of 2 times.
   127    	global_msgs.format = NULL;
   128    	global_msgs.count = glob_agcount;
   129    	global_msgs.interval = report_interval;
   130    	global_msgs.done   = prog_rpt_done;
   131    	global_msgs.total  = &prog_rpt_total;
  
Probably best to just drop the new NULL assignment, since it's a global init'd to 0 anyway, to shut up coverity?
