Re: lua_newthread problems

["Ashwin S Kurup" <kashwink@...>]

Dear Ben,

I might have taken extremes when I said that there might be a bug. Sorry 
about that. There is really no parallelism in the threads. One thread gets 
created, the second one is not created until the first one is over and so 
on. Do you still think that it is a synchronization issue?

The code is attached if you want to take a look at it
Thanks,
Ashwin Kurup
