artemp/trac2github — Issue #598: Segv with GDAL input plugin

I have seen a few rare crashes on startup from mod_tile and finally captured one in GDB. The segv occurred inside the gdal library and multiple threads were in the middle of calling GDALOpen(). Perhaps a mutex around the GDALOpen() call in the input plugin would help avoid this?

This is with the mapnik-0.7.x code.
