Severity: important

Hi,

I've noticed that occasionally in multithreaded contexts (which affects
at least Nageru on certain themes, but probably also Kdenlive, given its
heavy dependency on multiple threads), Movit will show corrupted imagery,
where textures from other threads show up at random.

I've traced this down to a bug in the multithread handling. From the upstream
commit message I wrote:

The patch is small, doesn't break the ABI, and backports trivially from
upstream git. I'll be uploading through unstable, but it will probably be
stuck behind gcc-8 like Nageru was, so I assume eventually, a testing upload
will be required if the RMs accept it.
