A precaution is necessary if Lisp functions will be called from C
by threads which weren't started by ECL: such threads should first be
"registered" with ECL.  This is not an issue specific to ECL though, as
I've seen this with other embeddable languages.

You might also want to look at the archives of this mailing list, as
related discussions happened before, including very recently.

But feel free to ask for more details as well,
