It is possible for multiple threads to share an IModel, even though the 
recommendation is to use an IModel per thread. The threads will need to 
enforce mutual exclusion. You risk malformed frames if multiple threads 
are permitted to share an IModel without synchronisation.

Also see section 2.10 in the .Net library user guide:
