Not necessarily. The change may significantly reduce parallelism and 
this may hide a race condition.

Some race-conditions are that unlikely to happen that it may take 
billions of years to get even one fault. I remember that I have written 
a high efficiency Java like string library for C++ some years ago. It 
used a trick to steal 2 lower bits from the (32 bit) string pointer for 
a temporary reference counter (for strong thread safety). I.e. no more 
than 3 threads could use this field concurrently. However, with test 
cases I failed to get even 3 threads at the same time into this short 
code block (checked with an assertion). Although I had hundreds of 
parallel threads which did nothing else than accessing a single (lock 
free) string object.
