Hi,

I've found myself plagued by a failed assertion when starting gpg-agent in
npth.c line 123.

Tracing this error led me to see that enter_npth() was called by gpg-agent
before npth_init() (somewhere in init_common_subsystems()).

Moving the npth_init call before solved the issue for me, but maybe this would
require more investigation? Here my diff:

A few more information on the system:
FreeBSD 11, using system-provided clang 3.8.0, on a 4 cores host.

Thanks for your work,
