That sure sounds like bug (or at least Apple should document that the class is not thread safe). I think that you're right that the cache is the problem.

You should never assume that something in any of the Apple frameworks is threadsafe unless it is explicitly stated otherwise (except perhaps NSLock ;-)

Really? According to an overview DTS article, DTS explained that huge parts
for several frameworks are threadsafe, except certain parts.


Unfortunately, I can't remember the correct URL.

That's great, and they may be. But you're no longer assuming that they are threadsafe once you've done some research. Basically, what I'm saying is: If you don't know, assume that something is thread unsafe. To confirm the thread safety, write a small program to test it. :-)


Cheers,
