I think this was fixed actually, in 

    commit 093d2ca9afb2cb71317fea221466fe0946c94062
    Author: Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
    Date:   Mon Sep 15 13:37:50 2003 +0000

        (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it reentrant.  No mutex is
        necessary.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!

I have poked format a bit because it was offensive to the eye; but I
don't know of any threadsafety issues there.

Cheers,

Andy
