Yes.  It's very hard, because Emacs has lots and lots of global state
and lots and lots of code that doesn't expect to deal with threading
issues.  Writing multi-threaded code from scratch isn't all that hard,
but making an existing massive code-base thread-safe is a very
different thing.

A search of the mailing list archives for emacs-devel should turn up
something I think.
