Thread safety of cout

Yes, I understand.
Unfortunately I still haven't been able to make a small test program that
recreates the problem.   I have sychronized all access of cout in my
application, and it will be interesting to see if the problem goes away,
though it will take a while to determine that.  (Perhaps it is something
else altogether).

Given that this is non-standard, I'm not sure any more that it would be a
good idea...

thanks for everyone's input,
