Hmm.. I should have added that I looked at this in early September last
year so it is not fresh in my memory.
IIRC the current code already does the fundamentaly unsafe operation of
adding items to a STL vector (in the loader thread) while concurrent
traversals of the same vector are possible (by various parts of OSG
rendering). That is NOT SAFE but a lot less risky than deleting from an
STL vector with concurrent traversal (consider the most likely internal
representation of a STL vector to see why).
Cheers,
Anders
