It may be a race condition, but it could also be a bug in the compiler
optimization. I often had problems when I had optimization turned on. Even
when an expression evaluated TRUE in the debugger, the code would enter the
FALSE branch. This only changed when I turned the optimization off, which I
now generally do.
A pro for a race condition bug would be that it works in the debugger every
time, but crashes non-reliably when run outside the debugger.
