Yes, a lot of JMeter code assumes that samplers and thread variables
are not shared.

So either we remove those assumptions, which might prove more
expensive in the non-concurrent case; or we change the way the
concurrent downloads are handled so they don't directly access the
main thread variables.

One way might be to clone the sampler so it effectively becomes a new
JMeterThread; I don't know how easy that would be, we would also need
to recover the updates at the end of the sub-samples.

Another way would be to intercept the writes to the objects that are
not thread-safe and store them up for the main sample thread to do at
the end.

Either way, at present the concurrent downloads unfortunately have
problems with cookie handling (and with buffer handling, but that is
trivial to fix).

So a short-term approach might be to ignore cookies when performing
sub-samples - I think it is only the cookies that require updates to
the thread variables.

Are there any use-cases where the web application relies on cookies
that are set by resources embedded in the main page?
I know some sites set cookies on embedded resources, but is that
necessary, or is it a by-product?

If not, then ignoring such cookies would be a long-term solution.
