Is JNI MT safe?

[Tim Panton - Westhawk Ltd]

The line I've taken is to port to
java if possible, since it makes
portability, debugging and security
much easier.
If you can't port, then turn it into
a tcp service, and let your java 
access it that way.
Only as a last resort use JNI, and
then as thin a layer as possible.
