Both of sfraser and jfrancis, from the CVS log: Much of our non-static/global data needs to be partitioned by window, not reachable by other windows except through statics/globals. Therefore we're starting the hunt with statics and globals. Please have a look at the file(s) below to see if we can improve reentrantcy across the code base by making modifications to: base/public/nsRepeater.h: static Repeater* sRepeaters; base/public/nsRepeater.h: static Repeater* sIdlers;

nsReater is Joe's baby

This is pretty much a non-issue. We do need a static here (you do on windows too, only its hidden in the os there). We could put locks the list access, but it doesn't matter until there is a preemptive macos.

Joe -- so how is this fixed? How can I verify this or can you verify this?

It isn't "fixed". Rather, it was never a bug. The statics in question are not in XP code, but in mac-only code. As I understand it, chofmann's original bug report was a request to check these statics and verify that they do not pose a reentrancy hazzard. I've checked and they don't.

cool -- marking verified per developer comment
