The changes for Libc for Thread-safe operation are about ready..
I will be doing some test over the next few evenings
and will be commiting a MASSIVE set of changes..
(13000 lines of diff and new files)
there are 150 new or changed files in this set including man-pages and library 
files, also Makefiles etc.

There is a new library "uthreads" which is a pthreads variant
and ther will also be following a little later, a more standard pthreads
version (CAP's pthreads) (I hope).

this might be a good time to make sure you're all up-to date
as the libs will be a little(hopefully not much) suspect, even though all
(well, nearly all) the changes are guarded by #ifdef _THREAD_SAFE_
constructs for compatibility..
never-the less such a large change set always has dangers..
