Having a "small code snippet" to show threading-related problems is often 
impossible. I can confirm that p36 is broken w.r.t. threading, see the 
bugreport I sent earlier. Nobu's patch fixes that problem *and* seems to 
fix the crash Nobu saw with its test_barrier script

I may have another bug today: I have a strange bug related to 
ConditionVariable and mutexes, still investigating
