Yes -- the 1.4 release should be thread-safe, with a few object types
(context types) limited to use in one thread at a time, and the simple
exposed data types (krb5_data, gss buffers) limited to only read-only
parallel use. I think I wrote it up pretty well in the doc tree, but
let me know if it's not clear enough.
