Hello Gisle,

Thanks for the bug report and the patch!  I've made #25479 [0] for this.

Can I ask what version of Windows you were running the benchmarks on?  It
seems like it might possibly have been due to differences in behaviours
between various Windows flavours in the InitializeCriticalSection() function
[1] (which was being called from tor_mutex_init(), itself called from
init_logging())?
