Temporary fix for bug 2494 - Crashes due to the non thread-safe SDL_malloc/SDL_free on Windows
We'll define USE_LOCKS as a temporary fix until an alternative like ptmalloc, jemalloc, or nedmalloc can be investigated.

SDL allocates memory very infrequently, so this is probably a decent fix for a while.
