May I not agree with this definition ? Reentrancy is a property of the implemention that assure that the code can be executed simultaneously by concurrent program. Thread safety instead involve concept like critical section and the ability to force the non execution simultaneously of part of the code. I agree anyway that are orthogonal concept.
