Fair enough. It's not black magic, but it can be helpful. This is the
main issue with threaded programming. It takes a lot of careful planning
up front, or a LOT of painful debugging later on. Sometimes both. :-)

Well, I'm sure none of us can guess, and it's probably too large (or
proprietary) to post it. Good luck, it's a difficult thing to debug.

If there's any good news, it's that the more you work with threaded
code, the better you will get at preventing/finding/fixing bugs.
