Most of the O'Caml standard library is *not* thread-safe yet. So far, everything in Pervasives is thread-safe, in particular I/O, but other stateful libraries are not. This includes in particular Hashtbl, Queue, and Lexing. There are no easy ways to make a library thread-safe and still have it working in the non-threaded case. So, I'm not promising these problems will be fixed soon. In the meantime, use mutexes liberally, or make sure that only one thread is doing e.g. parsing. - Xavier Leroy
