Threads

*[NOTE: this chapter was written for Cygnus Guile and has not yet been
updated for the Guile 1.x release.]*

Here is a the reference for Guile's threads.  In this chapter I simply
quote verbatim Tom Lord's description of the low-level primitives
written in C (basically an interface to the POSIX threads library) and
Anthony Green's description of the higher-level thread procedures
written in scheme.

When using Guile threads, keep in mind that each guile thread is
executed in a new dynamic root.
