1) In our case, we figured out that cfx_spell was not thread safe by
deploying it and watching CF crash under load :-(. I think you need to have
some decent C/C++ knowledge and access to the source to be able to be sure
in advance.
2) You need to lock them if you need to lock them; that is, depends on the
tag and the situation.

2 Questions
1. How do you know if a cfx tag is thread safe
2. Do you need to lock cfx tags?
Cheers

We've used CFX_Spell, and it's not thread-safe, so you'll need to lock it
with a named exclusive CFLOCK. Other than that, it's fine, as long as you
don't need to have everybody running it at once.
