After looking at the code i slowly remember again ;)
Anyway its not really broken or thread unsafe, its just not deterministic
with threads. But thats not a big issue for a +-1 dither ...

If you want to change this, iam pretty sure that theres a register pointing
to some context where the current line dither could be placed.
see RED_DITHER / GREEN_DITHER / BLUE_DITHER
seems ive half implemented the cleanup and then forgotten about it
