Why not just copy the pointer from the session scope to the request scope? Wouldn't the single-threaded nature of the request scope protect the actual data from corruption? I suppose the question I have is HOW does the CF server force single threading in the request scope:
1. By forcing every request into its own memory space or 2. By internally recognizing and locking the data associated with the request scope Anyone? Anyone?

Yes, that's correct. Personally, I just use Duplicate whenever I want to pass a structure by value, so I don't even think about it.
