We designed with this in mind... basically what's supposed to happen is that rather than having a bucket allocator per thread you have a group of available bucket allocators, and you assign one to each new connection. Since each connection will be processed by at most one thread at a time, you're safe. When the connection is closed, the allocator is placed back into the list of available allocators for reuse on future connections. --Cliff
