In the documentation for vtkDataSet it says: THIS METHOD IS THREAD SAFE
IF FIRST CALLED FROM A SINGLE THREAD AND THE DATASET IS NOT MODIFIED.
That's for the second version of FindCell, which takes a vtkGenericCell
as a parameter. I may be misunderstanding it, but I thought the text in
all caps meant that it's thread-safe as long as the first call is
protected.
