No, you are correct. This is a flaw in UserKit and I think your suggestion
is a good one.

I made some improvements in concurrent reading of MK objects, but I still
feel there are concurrency issues in MK. I haven't totally wrapped my brain
around them, but I'm very interested in them as I have 2 major MK projects.

0.5.1 will be released very soon. There is nothing holding it up except my
schedule.
However, I think there are enough MK improvs in the main branch that if you
are a serious MK user, you should really go for using Webware CVS. I think
the current CVS is stable.
