This restriction is due to problems in the way pthreads and
posix advisory locks interact in some versions of Linux with
the 2.4 kernel. If you are using win32 or mac os-x or linux
with a 2.6 kernel, this restriction does not apply.

I suspect these will work regardless.
Of course, nothing will work if you using the same connection
handle in two different threads at the same time. You may want
to put a mutex on the connection handle so that you don't try
to use the same handle at the same time in two different threads.
You best bet, in my view, is to not use threads at all.
Here is a quote (slightly modified) from Bryan Oakley that I
saw earlier today and kind of like:
"You almost never need threading. A good rule of thumb
is that you don't need threading unless you *know* you
need threading. If you only *think* you need it, you
don't need it. And even if you *know* you need threading,
you may not."
