Thanks for looking into it.

Yes.  I compiled it with:

  $ cc -o test-once test-once-pthread.c -lpthread

If it ran ok, it took ~13 sec:

  $ time ./test-once >/dev/null
         13.01 real         4.10 user         8.90 sys

Otherwise, I had to interrupt the process by ^C:

  $ time ./test-once >/dev/null
  ^Ctime: command terminated abnormally
        288.40 real        67.36 user       220.85 sys

Actually, I haven't tried it on a bare metal, but on Assaf's freebsd10
build-ready VM image:

  http://www.nongnu.org/pretest/downloads/

running under kvm on GNU/Linux with the following command line:

  $ qemu-kvm -nographic -m 384 \
      -snapshot \
      -net user -net nic,model=virtio \
      -drive if=virtio,media=disk,index=0,file=freebsd10.build-ready.qcow2
