Read the original article

I was reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_safety
Is the following function thread-safe?
void foo(int y){
int * x = new int[50];
/*...do some stuff with the allocated memory...*/
delete x;
}
In the article it says that to be thread-safe you can only use variables from the stack. Really? Why? Wouldn't subsequent calls of the above function allocate memory elsewhere?
