Yes, but to be threadsafe with a shared buffer you do need to synchronize as
the driver does a series of operations to accumulate a string that need to
be atomic. Synchronizing on each individual operation isn't enough.

That said, it's pretty silly to write code that depends on a Statement being
threadsafe :)
