Adding (or removing) an allListener while you are trying to copy the allListener collection for delivery can cause a ConcurrentModificationException. The preimage here is not even correct because toArray locks the vector and will grow the input array if it was too small, but it nulls out the later entries if the array was too large. Thus you can NPE inside of the fire loop. The only safe way to do this is to lock the collection while you copy it into an array or list, then later iterate that to do the delivery. Both of the fire implemenations in this patch have this issue. :-| -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
