Yes, particularly for caching LDAP data.

Thanks very much for the reply.
"curthread" is the missing key that I've been looking for! Thank you so
much. I've been banging my head against a brick wall for days
regarding how file IO and
threading work and how I can get cross-thread file IO working would be
most welcome.
