Thanks.  What about this patch?

wcsmbs: Fix data race in __wcsmbs_clone_conv [BZ #24584]

This also adds an overflow check and documents the synchronization
requirement in <gconv.h>.

2019-05-20  Florian Weimer  <fweimer@redhat.com>


	[BZ #24584]
	* wcsmbs/wcsmbsload.c (__wcsmbs_clone_conv): Acquire __gconv_lock
	before updating __counter field and release it afterwards.  Add
	overflow check.
	* iconv/gconv.h (struct __gconv_step): Mention synchronization
	requirement for __counter member.
