I would say the docs, and only partly because it's easier to fix ;-)

Yes, but as Paolo said, noone has even tried to ensure the library
meets the data race requirements of C++0x.  Some parts are inherently
safe, others have been designed to be safe (e.g. new C++0x components
such as std::mutex) but there are other parts (such as locales) which
haven't been looked at w.r.t data races.
