[geos-devel] Thread Safe CAPI RFC acceptance...

[Martin Davis]

I agree.  Some parts of the JTS API are not reentrant, and I'm not sure 
if this got transferred to GEOS.  And I have no idea what other 
non-reentrant things might have crept in. 

Since I can't vote knowledgeably, I will simply abstain.  (Like a good 
Canadian...)
