Dear Howard-san,

>There is no issue with thread-safety for ber_strdup. What exact line of me=
mory.c are you talking about?

I think ber_strdup(), which uses ber_memalloc_x(), is non thread-safe becau=
se of the following comment at around line 69 of memory.c:

/* Note sequence and ber_int_meminuse are counters, but are not
 * thread safe.  If you want to use these values for multithreaded applicat=
ions,
 * you must put mutexes around them, otherwise they will have incorrect val=
ues.
 * When debugging, if you sort the debug output, the sequence number will=20
 * put allocations/frees together.  It is then a simple matter to write a s=
cript
 * to find any allocations that don't have a buffer free function.
