Has anyone gotten any multi-threading library to work with v2.02?  I have
been trying to get LWP to work for a couple days now, and it still doesn't.
First, when using pre-emptive multithreading, the scheduler seems to never
get run.  It is called by calling __djgpp_hw_exception, which is called in
the int8 hardware handler, and installing the scheduler as the SIGILL
handler.  Second, when co-op multithreading, the thread doesn't call the
_deadyield function correctly, creating a SIGABRT (the registers get screwed
up on the ret at the end of the thread's function).  However I was able to
conquer a memory freeing problem, which was trying to free the thread's
stack pointer, and not the thread's stack base-address (returned by the
malloc call).  Can anyone help?
