What exactly do you mean by buggy?  There are actual faults in the code
today?  Or there are design issues that prevent making the code
threadsafe?  (These are two completely different things, by the way.)
Furthermore, who told you this?  Someone who worked on the code?  Or is
currently working on the code?  Have you actually seen ANY of this first
hand?  Have you written programs that fail?  Have you submitted PMRs to
address specific issues?  

Or are you just repeating whatever you might have heard second-hand?
(We call this the Dan Rather school of journalism.)
