If you will hide really important info, then nobody help you indeed...

You use something before STLport 5.1; even since 5.0 there are few
issues with pthread alloc was fixed.

Then, I can suggest a lot of scenarios when problem on you side
and not directly related to STLport.

For example:

            process 1                     process 2
thread 1                    thread 2

start string allocation     ....
lock (#)
                            fork() -----> ...
unlock                      ...           ...
end string allocation                     ...
                                          start string allocation
                                          lock <- deadloack, see (#)
                                          ...
