Ok, that makes sense. The documentation implied that apply always runs the jobs in parallel, so I assumed that meant they could potentially run concurrently. If instead they're serial, the example as written should be safe. It seems like a poor example in any case, however, since someone might assume using a concurrent queue is safe as well. - Charlie _______________________________________________ MacRuby-devel mailing list MacRuby-devel@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel
