Thank you for this quick response. I suspected so. Unfortunately, I just spent five hours straight tracking a random bug – not even remotely related to strings – that seemed to occur when a single thread successively triggered two events handled by a callback tied to an input source on the event loop (took me some time to get that). Of course the callback isn't thread safe… and never was designed to be since tied to the runloop. Until now...
