OK. Thanks. (I'd have responded sooner but I was driving all day) I will look into this. It does appear that I was not being precise enough with the MOC on potential multiple threads. So we should probably have a moc on the main thread (for queries, etc) and have transient background thread based mocs for the fairly heavy lifting.
Thanks again.
