Huh?

Maybe you've made the mistake of reading the class documentation,

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSAppleScript_Class/Reference/Reference.html

which says:

"Important  You should access NSAppleScript only from the main thread."

without reading the Release Notes (now three years old),

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/AppleScript/RN-AppleScript/RN-10_6/RN-10_6.html

which says, surprise!,

"OSA and AppleScript are now thread-safe: they may be safely called on a 
non-main thread … This also applies to NSAppleScript."

(Thanks to AppleScript guru Shane Stanley for finding that.)

That's life.

That's a pain.

That's real pain!

I submitted a "not helpful" on the documentation last October.  Maybe if 
everyone on the list does the same it will be fixed someday.
