use concurrency mechanisms such as monitors in order to ensure that certain operations that target shared resources are only executed by one (or a limited number of) thread(s) at a time...or use semaphores (e.g., mutual exclusion lock) on shared resources to limit access by threads.

It can be avoided by using checkpoints or by killing the particular thread.
