Description John Sullivan 2010-02-04 13:13:19 PST
WebLocalizedString() in WebLocalizableStrings.m is not thread-safe because it performs no internal locking when setting or using the value of a static variable. Also, it calls -[NSBundle localizedStringForKey:], which is not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

To catch thread-safety issues, it would be useful to assert that this function is being called on the main thread.
