I agree that this should probably go off-list but it is an important issue that many people don't know about and the double-checked pattern is popular (and faulty under current Java). Here is a link to a discussion of why it is broken, signed by many well known Java experts including Joshua Bloch, David Bacon, and Cliff Click.
