Does Konq synchronize functions when eval operator is used?

Mon Mar 3 07:05:40 GMT 2003

Well, after reading my Email it became painfully clear to me that it is too late at night to write
good bug reports and that I wasn't clear at all with my description, or my analysis of the
problem. Sorry about that. 

The real problem doesn't seem to be the Eval operator, but that Konq doesn't synchronize
JavaScript calls when threads are used to call the same function. In the case of my recreation,
the thread is caused by window.setTimeout. In the case of my code, the thread is caused by an
onload event of an IFRAME.

The question still stands however. Is this a bug in Konq or is there a way to get the calls to
these functions synchronized that I'm missing?

BTW: I tried this in Konq 3.1 and in code from HEAD from maybe a week ago.

Sorry again for the crummy mail. /me goes to bed
