[cells-devel] Cells and Threads

Hi --

Quick question.  I skimmed through the archives and didn't see any 
obvious answer to this question. Is cells thread safe?  If not, is there 
a particular pattern of use that one can follow to avoid problems in a 
multiprocess scenario?

I have an application that is multithreaded and I would like to explore 
how to use cells to drive the dataflow.  I've read through the examples 
and looked over the code a bit. Seems like I could get in trouble if 
multiple threads tried to change a cell with dependencies at the same time.

If this is a silly question and I have missed some obvious explanation 
somewhere, please just point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
-- Duane
