What version of perl are you using? 5.8 or 5.10? There's been a lot of hard work put into the threads subsystem, and you also should make sure you're using the latest versions of threads.pm. That *may* solve your problem.

Otherwise you will have to start cutting bits out until you can reproduce the problem reliably in a more-or-less self-contained manner.

Are these objects of which you speak shared, or per thread? Can you not encapsulate their acces via an API rather than slinging the objects around indiscriminantly? Are you using threads::shared?
