Any more information on what the difference in these libraries is?

m3gdb needs work on threads.  I have never done anything on it.
Unless Tony did some when he was working on it several years ago,
I think it is pretty much as it came from SRC, and that was fairly
primitive.  Plus, the new pthreads implementation is not supported.
Once I glanced at the code and it looked immediately like what was
there would not work at all.  This has been on my list a while.

Yes, that would be helpful.
