Abstract:  Fixes a defect in Data Replication Service 'get' operations

Description/symptom of problem:  This fixes a bug in Data Replication Service 'get' operations.  An internal container was not being properly synchronized and could intermittently be used by two or more threads simultaneously.  This resulted in an intermittent no-response or wrong-response error situation when a Data Replication Service consumer issued a 'get' request.
