I haven't had a chance yet, but I have been sent some detaisl about 
this, and I will try and fix whatever they show need fixing. Are you 
having a problem at the moment or is it a worry for the future, what is 
your setup and what driver are you using?

I am wondering if all the code that trys to protect non thread safe 
drivers is unneeded now, as most drivers seem to be thread safe anyway.
