On Monday, I'll try to get the official word on, specifically, "It is

access vars."

Um.... no. It's right. At least in my book. Sure, read locking app vars
that never change on a site that gets two hits a day may not be
necessary, but why _not_ code safely? If you don't lock, your looking
for trouble.
