Alan means the field ss, which is a mutable field written by one thread and 
read by another. I don't think the code as it stands is incorrect, but you have 
to do a fair bit of reading before you can figure out what it's trying to do 
and to verify that it's doing it correctly. Making ss final would help, as the 
field doesn't really need to be mutable. Moving the declaration of ss before 
the constructor would help too. As it stands it looks like the run() method 
reads an uninitialized ss.
