actually, yes you are right - that was indeed the problem. That
iterator is normally only used by the working memory, which is single
threaded, but in this case its on the rulebase, which is not suppose to
hold state. I'll fix this now,&nbsp; well found :)<br>

I've tracked down the concurrency issue. The Rete node has a HashMap of
