Hi David, > I like the added mutex locking. It's a good idea. It sounds like > you'll be modifying it a little? I hope not. There is just a place that Jim mentioned with the lock in both branches of if. It is not elegant, but without more temporary variables or multiple lock/unlock it wont simply work as expected. Thanks for the testing. If you have better idea how to handle the particular place it would be good. Otherwise if Jim has not any ideas I would like Jean to accept it as it is. Thanks, Regards Rudolf
