is metis thread safe?

is it safe to call metis through API in my multi-threaded applications? say i launched two threads and each thread calls metis function separately, can i do that?

thanks,

RE: Metis is mostly thread-safe.

Metis is mostly thread-safe. The only part that is not, is the random number generator, which is based on the standard function in libc, which is not thread-safe. However, in principle should still work. This is on my todo list to fix for the next minor update.
