    Hi Yuri,

    threads cause other problems. It is not allowed to mix
    threads and fork()s. But what do you want to do if the
    frontend fork()s to start a new process (e.g. a viewer)...

    If we find a way that no forks or threads are used in
    the backends we should use this.

    Bye
    Oliver
