I simply misunderstood you (I thought you meant that there should be a  
solution to avoid having to use critical sections around all accesses  
to fields that may be accessed from multiple threads).

However, what is a wrong assumption on your part is that when I  
replied to fpc-other with you in CC, explicitly mentioning "moved to  
fpc-other because unrelated to developing FPC", that it's ok to reply  
back to fpc-devel (moreover removing that remark in the process).

This thread has gone off topic for long enough now on this list, and  
further posts on this topic to this list will be rejected.
