Sometimes PegDownProcessor.markdownToHtml(...) does nothing about pegdown

Interesting... I currently can't see any reason why your ThreadLocal construct wouldn't work.
Are you sure you are not caching the instance you get from MarkDownProcessor.get() and somehow access it concurrently from multiple threads?

I'm posting some findings.

• I don't cache instances of PegDownProcessor
• it seems that this bug(?) depends on current machine speed, with faster CPU it is more frequent, for example on my dev machine it is very rarely but on production much powerfull server allways
• it only occurred on first line of markdown source

This is real example:

##Description##
Not available yet.
##Properties##
Not available yet.  

HTML looks like this:

<p>##Description##<br>Not available yet. </p><h2>Properties</h2><p>Not available yet. </p>

but should be (and after page refresh it is):

<h2>Description</h2><p>Not available yet. </p><h2>Properties</h2><p>Not available yet. </p>

Martin,
thanks a lot for your deeper analysis.
From the looks of it it really should be a race condition, either in pegdown itself or in the underlying parboiled parser implementation.
I now should have enough to be able to nail this thing down and get it fixed.

Thanks for the report!

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the issue.
Please distill a small test case that I could use for reproducing...
Closing for the time being.
