Oh, sorry then.

Yes, of course. But if I get a segfault in FlightGear which gdb
traces back to some lines of code in OSG, and then helgrind
points out a bug in pretty much exactly the same lines, then
my first assumption is not that helgrind is buggy. And helgrind's
report was IMHO very precise.

Yeah, same here. I'm a total helgrind newbie. But still: segfault
and threading bug reported by two independent tools in the same
code.

But before I annoy the last person here, I stop bitching. Just
release OSG as it is. Maybe gdb and helgrind and FlightGear
get fixed and the problem goes away all by itself.   ;-)
