Back to the thread safe string conversation...

Just a quick question here..

All the "strings aren't thread safe" conversation I've seen has been in reference to a thread changing a global string variable. It is safe to use strings in threads if you create and use them *only* in that thread - right?

AFAIK, PB only has one string buffer for performing string calculations. So it`s possible that a thread could access and modify it before the main app or other thread has finished using it.
What PB really needs is a string buffer for each thread.
