I disagree.  The claim has been made in response to ticket 2855 that 
thread safety is only ensured if no two threads make calls into the
library using the same context at the same time.  Therefore, there
must be one instance of the context for each thread.

If this is not the case, then the problem described in 2855 is in
fact a thread safety issue.
