Hi Jan,
Indeed this looks like a classic threading problem. I thought we eliminated most of these in 0.6.
What does your #update method do specifically? Also, do the problems disappear if you call #update only once from the main thread before starting the thread?
A minor (but likely irrelevant here) note: I think your drawRect: method might be called from the thread, which is AFAIK not supported in Cocoa.
