David, Great points - but, respectfully, does it ever actually happen? Can you write an example db that does this?
And bear in mind I'm talking about conditions on a client - not the server. And I'm not talking about situations where an external client might be attempting to set variables either. Just plain old accessing IP vars from multiple processes.
