I presume you are referring to the OSAScript class.
Do you know if it is thread safe, unlike NSAppleScript?

Note that the AppleScript component itself only supports cooperative threading [1], so thread safety or lack thereof in the OSA API may be somewhat by-the-by.

My app needs to run concurrent scripts.
At present I am firing them off into separate tasks wrapped around
NSAppleScript.

That would be the safest way to do it, assuming you need to use AppleScript in the first place. Are these user-supplied scripts you're running, or are they private to your application?
