The problem is that the file specified by $GISRC (typically
~/.grassrc5) is modified by various commands, and no locking is
performed.

You could try modifying the grass5 script to create a unique $GISRC
filer for each session, and removing the conncurrent use checks from
$GISBASE/etc/Init.sh.

I believe that the session mechanism is under review for 5.1.
