Mea culpa: someone just pointed out to me that as of Java 7,
StringBuffer is innately threadsafe and all the accessors/modifiers are
locked in synchronized blocks.  However, since this code dates back to
the Java 1.4 error, it would be an error under the JVM spec that existed
then.

My error -- thanks to the (wishing-anonymity) person who corrected me!
