You might present your management with this question:
Which is better, to devote time to getting multi-threaded programming correct
(since your program apparently is multi-threaded), or to spend much, much more
time and money fixing the subtle, maddening threading bugs after you've
already dismayed your customers with them?
I've worked on a project where management ignored the cries to fix Java
threading issues until after a customer got the wrong data because of a data
race. Oh, then you see a lot of st??rm und drang, let me tell you. War rooms
and tiger teams and late nights, lots of high-level pressure from top
management and executives, finger-pointing, chest-beating, falling on swords, ...
It's not pretty.
