You found a bug in Rhino; I wonder if others have been running into the same thing.
The problem is with a class called LazilyLoadedCtor. I wrote this class to reduce the
time
required by initStandardObjects by only creating standard objects when the associated
constructors are first accessed. The problem is that this class was not threadsafe.
I've
made changes to that class, and to ScriptableObject as well. The design of dynamic
properties calling getters and setters (which LazilyLoadedCtor uses) didn't really
allow
any way for the getter/setter to replace itself without a thread hazard. I've now
extended
setters so that they can return a value which replaces the getter/setter to avoid this
problem.
Thanks for finding this problem. There have been a couple of other reports of problems
in
this area, so I hope this will fix them.
The patch follows.
