Yes.  KinoSearch isn't thread safe.

The error message you saw suggests that an input stream has gotten  
out of sync.  It's at the wrong place in the file and reading data  
that the module considers insane; there's a sanity check in place to  
give you that exception and head off the looming segfault.

The error from a year ago was due to a 32-bit bottleneck I'd missed  
truncating a file pointer.  Since then, I don't think I've received  
any reports of 0.15 i/o sync errors other than yours.
