--- Comment #3 from Alexey Proskuryakov <ap at webkit.org> ---
Are you saying that you see the fact that initializeThreading was called as a sign that any code could be running on a secondary thread? I don't think that is closely enough related to be relevant here.

There are always many threads running in any process, whether it calls initializeThreading or not. It's never safe for other threads to manipulate the environment, except for when the code is fully in control of the process (so maybe the dynamic linker could safely do something here).

Can you describe the specific scenario that you are concerned about? "Thread safe" has many different meanings, so it's rarely a good way to describe threading related requirements or issues.
