Liviu Nicoara commented on STDCXX-1071:
---------------------------------------

I have re-attached the timing measurements, file patch-timings.tgz, after 
re-verifying the results. They show an improved performance of the facet when 
not caching the locale data, in multi-threaded builds, with high contention.
                
> numpunct facet cache initialization is not thread -safe

> The bug affects the initialization of the cached data in numpunct facet. The 
> failing test is 22.locale.numpunct.cpp in certain builds: Linux with SUNPro 
> 5.12, optimized, most likely to fail. It has been reported (see linked 
> incidents) to fail on SPARC as well. It manifests in variate ways: sometimes 
> as heap corruption, sometimes as access violations, etc. Test cases and 
> library reduction programs to follow.
