No, he thinks that with 1.7.30, it is _potentially_ thread-safe on Unixy 
systems.  It has been thread-safe to exactly the same degree on Windows 
systems for quite some time now.

All I have done to attain this potentiality is link against the 
thread-safe libraries where available.  I have done precisely zilch to 
ensure that MySQL++ itself is thread-safe, because I don't use threads 
with MySQL++.

Point of fact, I only use threads under extreme duress.  There's usually 
a better way to handle such problems, in my experience.

In short, it's up to you, the users of threads, to find any bugs that 
may be present.  I have no interest in doing a thread safety audit.
