I'm going to need a mac user that has a dual processor machine that
is running OS-X so I can confirm the correct usage of pthread mutex
semaphores to prevent race conditions between the UI input thread,
and the VM thread.
This is hard to test, other than by reading the code, when you've
only one processor. Mind even with a two processor box it's hard to
confirm it's correct, but if I can say it doesn't lock up in the
first 30 seconds then I'm happier.
Unless of course someone wants to spring for a dual processor mac for
me... (I'm quite willing to listen to offers)...
