Race condition on loading packages from 2 maxima processes in parallel?

Dear all,

wxMaxima on every commit creates a new virtual machine, compiles 
wxMaxima in that machine and runs a few hundred tests in that machine.

If it runs more than one test in parallel sometimes maxima fails to load 
draw.

My theory is:

  * One maxima process tries to load draw, compiles that package and
    starts saving it.
  * A second maxima process tries to load the compiled draw package
    while that compiled package still being written.

Could that be the case?

Kind regards,

     Gunter.
