(Also, I had to comment out the `#include "xapian_threads.h"' line, 
since I havn't got the header file.)

I've tried both your test cases, too, on my box (running debian 
unstable, and recent CVS xapian).  I'm not seeing any unexpected errors.
(ie, no errors in the multiple writer case.  In the "writer and multiple 
readers" case, I'm seeing occasional "Reader:  ERROR=Db block 
overwritten" errors, but these are to be expected, as Olly explained.)

I assume it must be something to do with your OS, processor or compiler, 
as James suggested...
