Source code from java/awt/Canvas.java:

    String constructComponentName() {
        synchronized (getClass()) {
return base + nameCounter++;
}
    }

This wasn't synchronized in 1.1.7, but it is synchronized
in 1.2. Unfortunately, it is synchronized on the wrong
object. getClass() returns different objects for (say)
instances of different classes derived from Canvas.

The above is the common idiom used in many java.awt classes.
