 Does tokyocabinet use multi-threading or some other means of
 concurrency? For me this looks like race conditions. They may live in
 the glibc, as there were some fixes in this area lately.

Thanks guys! Indeed tokyocabinet does use multi-threading.

$ find tokyocabinet-1.4.37/ -type f | xargs grep thread | wc -l
730
$ grep -c thread tokyocabinet-1.4.37/tcbmttest.c
60

Bastian, I don't see any related recent entries in the glibc changelog. If the
fixes are still pending, is there a bug we could denote as a blocker for
#40?

Cheers,
Serafeim
