Chris, 

I assume you're talking about this method:

    public static boolean interrupted() {
	    boolean i = Thread.currentThread().interrupting;
	    Thread.currentThread().interrupting = false;
	    return (i);
    }

There is no need to protect anything;  interrupted will always be the
interrupting flag of the current thread.
