>=20

I see. That makes sense and it's fair :). The only annoying (but not too an=
noying :)) is that
making the data/buffer global forces you to use a lock in cases you potenti=
ally would
not have too (just using local buffers). But that's life, better play safe =
:)

Hmm, I see...

Indeed it does.
