The Apache Httpd win32 distribution uses mod_winnt to handle requests: all requests are handled in threads in a single Win32 process. SCARuntime currently keeps track of the current composite component on a process basis, this needs to change to be done on a thread basis.
I thought we'd have to do this sooner or later, I just didn't understand Win threading when I wrote this many moons ago! We also need to make sure there are no static variables in the runtime. Cheers, -- Pete
