Since it doesn't work, I very much doubt it. :-)
Look for any static data being modified at runtime. Look for any C
library calls where the return value may be in static storage. Look
at any r/w file accesses. Once you've dealt with those, you may have
a chance at getting your application working.
Currently the library knows nothing at all about threads. I don't
think we can make the library completely thread-safe without changing
that at least a little.
