Not necessarily. The demo serves to test a wide variety of 2D
functionality all in one place. It has worked very well to point out
real bugs in the past that we have fixed, though it does have some
questionable practices inside it that can turn up false bugs and I
believe its abuse of threading is one such practice.
Send me (off-line) the full stack traces of the failures you were seeing
and I'll check and see if they occur in areas where it might be trying
to do graphics from multiple threads at once...

It's probably also a good place to let slip that a certain demo that was
mentioned previously in the thread has always been considered "poorly
written" and I wouldn't put it past it to be violating the threading
design goals we have. But I would never come right out and say
something like that since it serves as a good "make sure even kooky
things continue to work" telltale... [goes back to looking nonchalant]
Ugh... don't tell me I'm debugging with a wrong test case... :S
Cheers,
