Barney,
Session,application & server variables are not protected from simultaneous
read/write access. Therefore you should always use CFLOCK tag when
readin/writing to thyese variable scopes. If you don't, its possible that
several requests could occur at same time. This could corrupt data or hang
CF server.

Subject: Locking session variables in CF 4.0
I am confused by the knotty subject of locking session variables.
I know that it is recommended to lock all session variables in CF 4.5,
but should I be locking if I am developing for CF 4.0. What will
happen if I don't implement locks?
Regards
Barney
