Hi there!
I'm using SpiderMonkey in a multithreaded environment. Now I have the need,
that an object, which is created in one thread has to be accessed from
another. Doing this results in a failed assertion in jslock.c, in the
js_UnlockScope function (JS_ASSERT(scope->ownercx == NULL). Isn't it
possible to read properties from other threads or is there something wrong
with my application? This technique completely failed to work under earlier
releases of SpiderMonkey, but now at least it doesn't crash, like before.
Any idea is welcome, please ask, if this doesn't fit and you need more
information.

Thanks in advance,
Andreas Podgurski
