[M3devel] results of threadtest program on Windows7

Hi all:
but you could still run a *nix image with uniprocessor support kernel and try on the vbox, qemu, etc.
Perhaps you would get enough simulation to detect that the problem is on the hardware layer (either physically or its abstraction) rather than the execution model (the pthreads scheduling policy), if it does no work may be there is a problem in ThreadPthread implementation of pthreads (don't need to switch its default is - smp 1).
commands i.e in qemu:
qemu -cdrom /path/to/system.iso -smp 2
and run threadtest from there
Thanks in advance
