Threads are hairy.  Cross-platform threads more so.  Unfortunately,
I do not understand this code very well.  It looks sane enough to me,
but we need more eyes.

We definitely need a review from at least one of, and probably
both of, Loren and Benjamin.  Please look at this very, very carefully
to convince yourselves that this code is an improvement over what is
currently there.  Try to think about race conditions, etc.  If this
is only to fix HPUX 10, think about whether or not this patch
is likely to screw up on other more common platforms.

Loren, Benjamin, please let me know what you think ASAP.

Thank you,
