Both can be thread safe and by doing things wrong in either you can 
shoot yourself in the foot.

That said, I've had good luck with C++, GNU Common C++ library and Boost 
threads.

It's been too long for me to say much about Java except making objects 
thread safe is the programmers responsibility.  Then that's true for C++.

C is a different story.  It's probably a little harder to make thread 
save functions with C but it can be done.
