Hi Everybody,

I'm doing inter-process messaging using pfLists--when a process wants to
send a message to another process, it adds the message to that process's
pfList.

Do I need to worry about locking and race conditions and so on when I
do this? It seems I would but my former co-worker seemed to think I
didn't. Is this sort of thing magically handled by pfList/pfMemory/pfObject/???

Thanks,
Jeremy
