Do you use a thread-safe AES-library? The normal library use global
arrays, so if you call the AES simultanously from two threads you'll
mess up boths calls. You need to use a library that passes an address
to the global array in each call, so you can use separate arrays for
each thread. GEMlib has one from pl34 (iirc) and upwards.
