If it's a problem of reentrancy, it doesn't seem that it would. I haven't had a chance to do much testing; and I don't have a test guaranteed to turn up the problem. in fact, if I do things which make it happen less often, it becomes even harder to track down and deal with. Now that you point it out, I think I understand why it wouldn't work. I do have one instance involving a shared object, where it (and I believe it's own thread) is contending for access to a dictionary, at the same time as clients (other scripts, I believe in other threads right?) are trying to access this dictionary. in this case I think it should work right? thanks again.
