And only when long-running scripts read/write cookies over a long period of time. And if something does go wrong, it won't be reproducible, so users, developers and testers will likely treat it as "just a glitch" and ignore it. You almost certainly won't get a nice bug report "browser allows race conditions on cookie data". Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
