As a matter of fact I DO have a magical CF server that never crashes, Erik.
You have one too? It's an Amiga.
To prove a point, I did not mention the <cfif not
IsDefined("application.var")> tag before the application read because I
wanted to imagine a case of ONLY reads.
I might be seeming weird about it because I'm trying to get the skinny on
exactly how locking works - something that I'm not even sure Allaire knows
too much about. I think I pretty well have my noggin around it, but if
someone shows me the case of unlocked read-only access to a shared scope
variable causing problems, then it's back to the drawing board for me.
