FWIW I had a problem in XiniX that showed itself in the same way.

The problem was that the console wasn't thread safe. I was writing from
different places to the console at the same time.

Solution was to encapsulate the actual writing function with a critical section.

BTW anything you paint on the screen isn't threadsafe either so that should have
an "entercriticalsection" as well.
