disappearing/swapping vars between scripts ?
open/file commands losing handles?

just curious cos i get some odd errors on very plain code

or not being able to open 0 byte files.

CreateFile() api that those commands are using, may give odd results under race conditions..

tits.

any suggestions ? :'(

catch {} error, check :? etc.

Wait until next version.. it'll provide you a fancy locking api (if I remember to implement it :))

You can expect it to work as following:

lock -wait "lockname" <timeout/milliseconds>
lock -release "lockname"

lock will return 0 on success, 1 on timeout & tcl error on system error.
