Ummm... Okay.. So what would you propose doing if your web host has
full checking or auto read locking turned on for their servers? As a
host, I require that it be on for all of our servers because if it's
NOT, it's really easy for someone to start accessing unlocked shared
memory and bring your entire CF server down in a hurry. Not a pretty
thought on a multi-homed box, neh?

I'd say I'm exceptionally familiar with the tool I'm using. The
problem is that if I want to create a general purpose CF app that
would run on 4.0 or 4.5, either I develop two separate copies or I'm
S.O.L.
It just seems to me that a more sensible solution could have been
developed. Especially since this wasn't even a full version upgrade.
If I go from version x.0 of a product to version y.0 of a product,
then I'd expect some various little ugly things that would require
fixing. But to go from x.0 to x.5 and have show-stopping code
incompatibilities is kinda lame IM(NS)HO...
And it's especially a pain in the bum when I have to upgrade our web
server's CF Version and manually fix all the code on it for the new
locking scheme...
Best regards,
