No, Fil-C just makes races memory safe.

Also this is sort of changing the topic a bit since bzip is single threaded

Even if it wasn't single threaded, it would probably have been fine grained OMP style multithreaded which runs into far fewer issues. I was just making sure I understood what Fil-C was doing. I hadn't heard of it. It seems like a great thing.
