gnupg + keyrings = thread safe?

I read somewhere (i cant recall sorry) that gnupg
locks internally each keyring it uses (i.e. for
sign/decrypt).

I figured, if gnupg uses the same keyring for multiple
processes - some processes do indeed return "no key
found" or similar on a multi threaded envirenment.

Is creating temporary keyring files the best option
here ? i.e. copy them from a master file prior to use
?

Why does this happend ? For read process locking
shouldnt be needed..

Thanks
