no problems i am aware off.  It *should* be safe to have
multiple threads using channel.send() concurrently. 
It depends on write()s to pipes (or sockets) being 
atomic eventually which i think they are.  

One issue that can pop up is tearing down the whole
machinery cleanly - that can sometimes be more
involved and i believe execnet still might need 
some more work there.
