I just added a clarification to the README about this. The main issue is that the current implementation keeps track of roots with a shadow stack technique (https://llvm.org/docs/GarbageCollection.html#using-llvm-gcwr...), which is not thread-safe. It wasn't worth the engineering work for this particular study since the tasks didn't require more than one thread. A practical implementation, of course, would need to be thread-safe.
