I have been asked to do a code review of a site and I have found that the
developers don't bother to lock session variables when then read or write
them. Does anybody have an good horror stories about the dangers of doing
this so I legitimately show the customer why this is a problem. He is a
nontechnical person so any talk of needing to single-thread processes when
using shared variables won't mean a thing to him. Since I always lock around
the variables I can't give him any personal horror stories. Perhaps some of
you have heard of some (I KNOW they won't come from YOUR sites because you
always follow best practices ;-) but maybe you inherited some.)
TIA
Don
