Oh, I stand corrected. It works in this case.

But still I claim that when synchronization is needed, it is MOSTLY
needed for a block broader than just the single call to a method of a
jdk class instance.
(And before anybody calls for "true Scotsman", I remembered to include
the word mostly in my original claim as well.)
