> Race condition when instantiating tools

> Issue Type: Bug

> Hello,
> Since Velocity tools are lazy-loaded when necessary only, there's a (wide)
> race condition problem during tools instantiation.
> Until the tool has been constructed, configure()'d and init()'d, it is not
> accessible in the toolbox cache and every invocation of the tool triggers a
> new Construct(), configure() and init().
> The problem is unavoidable with any tool for which initialization takes a few
> seconds on a heavy enough traffic - for example my Lucene-based search tool
> gets typically instantiated two or three times on my production servers, and
> can get instantiated dozens of time on an artificially generated load (siege
> for example).
> The following patch fixes that.
> I hope it's good enough to get incorporated, if not, I'm willing to put more
> work in it.
> Thanks for your help !
