My first thought was that this is wrong (falling prey to the same 
mistake as the double-checked locking pattern). But after thinking twice 
over it again, I think that this unprotected access of pack->delta_size 
is thread-safe.

Of course, I'm assuming that different threads never assign to the same 
array index.
