Some interesting work. For those who haven't made the connection yet - concurrency issues probably go far beyond just web browsers. It's a safe bet that *any* software that's multi-threaded, multi-process, event-based, or asynchronous could have these sorts of issues. Traditional data manipulation techniques probably won't be effective in finding them. In other words - concurrency is a rich area for future research, and web browser bugs are probably the tip of the iceberg. - Steve
