AFAICS, there's not proper synchronization between these two threads
(e.g., a barrier), so it could be that thread 1 gets to define `x' after
thread 2 attempts to access it.  Sure, there's a "sleep (1);", but a
barrier would make sure we're not seeing such a case.

Can you add proper synchronization and see if the problem is still here?

Thanks,
Ludo'.
