The backtrace points to a threading problem:

  if (pthread_mutex_init (&lock->recmutex, &attributes) != 0)
    abort ();

Any chance you are still mixing libpthread and libthr?  Others have
reported a crash in update-desktop-database after the gettext update,
but I have been unable to reproduce on my -CURRENT system (even with
malloc debugging and non-C locales).
