Topic: Multi-threading and STL?

Hello,

We have recently switched from Irix 5.3 (on Silicon Graphics) to 6.2,
the first version to support kernel multi-threading. Due to this, we
are on the lookout for a thread-safe STL library implementation; my
questions are:

1. Is the stock STL (found on the Internet) thread-safe?

2. If not, is there an STL implementation anywhere that is
   thread-safe, under Irix 6.2 or any Unix version?

3. Any suggestions? Like, what parts of the stock STL should be
   protected with mutexes and such to make it thread-safe?

Thanks in advance. Please answer via BOTH e-mail and news, if
possible.
