threadsafe problems

I try to use librrd in a multithreaded application, and it seems like
most/all functions at not thread-safe due to getopt().
I use rrdcached which handle all rrd-files separately, and I mostly use
librrd to execute command to the destination "--daemon 127.0.0.1".

Below you can find some stack-trace where two threads of my threads call
rrd_flushcached() at the same time, and it ends up with seg-fault.

Would it be necessary to protect all getopt() calls with a mutex inside
librrd to get rid of the problem, or do you have any other good idea?
