I've had some funny race/thread-order conditions when I was switching to
pthreads.... Someone lazy got too grooved in with fixed order of
execution implied by how user threads work. It was in pp package and
also somewhere I can't remember right now... Will look a bit through hm3
svn (dead in house spinoff of pm3 from times when all mainstream m3 had
was user threads).
