MNG-2802 concurrency issue, what is the problem ?

[Kristian Rosenvold-2]

Recent discussions related to concurrency have called my attention to
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2802,
and the linked article
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Local+repository+separation within
that issue.

The interesting thing about this issue is that it really does not say *what*
the exact problem is ? Could someone
amend this issue with more information ?

We are experiencing intermittent "corruption" of RELEASE artifacts in our
local repository (sporadic classnotfound
exceptions in our build) and we are really wondering what the cause of this
issue is.

This is on a highly concurrent 2 cpu/ 8 core build box.
