According to a recent post, a quick try at basing things
on pthreads is at
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/9376/2001/12/50/7309863/
but I guess there's more to be done.  So the question
is, who's going to be the first to get a "new pthreads"
Linux system up and running to verify the problem and
try out that patch?

(http://kt.zork.net/wine/wn20030131_155.html#2
has a nice summary of recent discussions, but
searching google for wine pthreads yields a few
interesting tidbits, too.)
