Obviously. Multiple threads are not involved.

Yes, the question was: assuming a single thread model, nothing fancy,
would it be possible that my_callback() gets called from several
Nagios-created threads?
Is write_to_all_logs() a candidate for race conditions (especially since
other modules / threads might very well use it)?
Thanks
