Safari driver not running tests in multiple browsers

[Nigel]

I'm using Selenium WebDriver with Java and testng on a mac. I am using testng.xml as the testrunner, and have it set so that when the suite runs 10 browsers open concurrently, which is working for the firefox driver and the chrome driver. I am finding that when I use the Safari driver only 1 browser runs the tests, the other 9 browers do not run and are shown as skipped in the IDE. Has anyone else experienced this, or have any workarounds? 

Some further details:

1. I am using selenium 2.45.0 and installed safari driver for 2.45. Safari version is 8.0.5, on OS Yosemite

2. Below are details of how I have setup testng.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">

<suite name="Suite" verbose="1">

    </test>

    <test name="Main" parallel="classes" thread-count="10">

        <packages>

            <package name="Tests.HomePage"/>

            <package name="Tests.Searches"/>     

        </packages>

    </test>

</suite>

Try adding preserve-order="false" after thread-count=10.

Can you please help share the code that is responsible for instantiating a SafariDriver browser ?

Sure, the following code instantiates the Safari driver:

@BeforeMethod
capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.safari();
SafariOptions safariOptions = new SafariOptions();
safariOptions.setUseCleanSession(true);
capabilities.setCapability(SafariOptions.CAPABILITY, safariOptions);
driver = new SafariDriver(capabilities);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
