Has there been effort into made into investigating what's causing the
crashes? We perhaps should make an effort to see if svc_run() is
thread-safe and examine which functions it uses and which might not be
thread safe. You might be able to allow greater parallelism then 1
thread in a svc_run() function by just making some not-thread safe
functions wrapped in pthread locks.
