in thread Threads + OpenGL act weirdly?

Threadsafe seems to explain it well. Basically, the problem is concurrent access to shared resources. Like everybody rushing to the bank to get money out at the same time. Except that threads don't naturally form block-busting queues.

    Thanks to you as well, interesting reading there. I'm amused though by how they go "Every thread has access to virtually all the memory of every other thread." and in Perl it's the exact opposite, especially with complex data structures, which is the biggest stumbling stone to me threading my data processing subs.
