Thanks for the report. I'd not yet use the single-threading version. The performance hit should not be severe, but I think I'll be able to release another version today. Not sure, of course, if it actually fixes the bug, but I am working on it. I got a report that it is indeed related to a threading issue and I am now checking all runtime functions that get called. At least one I have found to be not thread-safe. I intend to release a version with that fix and a couple of minor things, even if I have not yet completed the full runtime-checks.
