Absolutely! Shit happens. In a well-designed world, that would not be the case, but we don't live in one. Until you have identified the cause, you can't tell if threading has anything to do with the failure - given what we know, it seems likely, but what Aahz says is how to tackle the problem WHATEVER the cause.
