Yes -- the 1.4 release should be thread-safe, with a few object types 
(context types) limited to use in one thread at a time, and the simple 
exposed data types (krb5_data, gss buffers) limited to only read-only 
parallel use.  I think I wrote it up pretty well in the doc tree, but 
let me know if it's not clear enough.
