Really?  I thought that was what REFR was for, not RENT.  My understanding
was that RENT simply means that the module can be executed my multiple
tasks simultaneously.

I have written modules that were reentrant, but which modified themselves.
(I'm not saying it was a good idea.)  They were very careful with their
modifications (using CS / CDS, etc), but the fact remains, they were
reentrant.  But not refreshable.
