extension module initialization called twice

[pianomaestro]

I have a cython extension module "mux" where the initialization is
being
called more than once (the initmux c function).
I am wondering if my use of multiple threads causes this. Can't
multiple
threads share the same python module ?

The threads are being created from an external C library.
I just call PyEval_InitThreads on startup, and then acquire the
gil from the c callbacks.

Here is my gdb session:

(gdb) break initmux
Breakpoint 1 (initmux) pending.
(gdb) break PyEval_InitThreads
