[issue5853] mimetypes.guess_type() hits recursion limit

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

The function monkeypatching hack should be replaced with something more
robust.
(what might happen here is that init() is first called from another
thread, sets `inited` to True and then crashes for whatever reason, so
guess_type() isn't actually monkeypatched)
