[Laszlo-dev] [Platform-team] Single-threaded != no race conditions

[P T Withington]

Given the speculations elsewhere in this thread, perhaps you need to  
enhance your test slightly.  Jim's comment about re-entering the  
event loop while waiting for an (onsensibly) synchnonous call to  
return seems like it matches the situation we were seeing in the  
profiler.

In particular, I wonder if you use setTimer and synchronous XHR, can  
the timer event run while the XHR is waiting for a reply?
