Good point on it having to be a race condition. OK - sounds reasonable for backport then.

Sean - I've created a bug record for you. Will update when I see your push.

regards, Sean.

David, Mike, Sean - what are your thoughts here ? Does this need further discussion with conformance/compatibility engineers ? I don't have an issue with it. I can't imagine anyone relying on it working the way it had been as the whole thing depends on a race condition anyway. David regards, Sean. On 03/09/2012 09:54, Sean Chou wrote: Hello,
