Title:
  Current package is not thread-safe

Status in “fribidi” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The current fribidi release (fribidi-0.19.6) is not thread-safe unless configured with `--enable-malloc`. This can cause crashes when using fribidi in multiple libraries concurrently.
  This option is removed, and thread-safe allocation enabled by default, in this commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fribidi/fribidi/commit/?id=54b4496e9c2368c53f1cff57347c1f395328a142 
  The maintainer has not yet produced a release containing this change, so for now, package maintainers should either switch to a git version or pass the `--enable-malloc` switch at configure-time.
