Patrick,

There are also issues in PROJ 4.4.9 with datum shifting (via
pj_transform()).  The datum tables are loaded into memory and
kept in a linked list for re-use.  Changes to this list would need
to be protected by a lock, or else all the datum loading stuff would
need to be kept in thread local storage (better to lock). 

Sorry if I missed an earlier form of this question.  I stopped 
following the details of the libproj4 threading discussion
closely. 

Best regards,
