Right! Locking on non-TLS objects doesn't make sense. Perhaps only shared objects should be synchronizeable and thus contain a monitor / pointer to a monitor.

(And let me just add: As long as shared is as impractical as it is, we shouldn't remove that ability.) -- Alex Rønne Petersen alex lycus.org http://lycus.org
