That's a worry to me. Is there any possibility you could run the FICL console in a thread of its own? Or, better yet, use the Cin widgets to create a FICL console window, and have it completely event-driven? For instance, implement the usual editing event handlers, then a handler for ENTER key which passes the command to FICL. In a multi-thread environment such as Cin, you have to change from the 'read/eval loop' to an 'eval-on-Enter handler'. When I've done this in the past, I've had to find the point in the program where events get handled. Not sure about Cin, but quite often, gui frameworks are not thread safe but they do offer a safe way for any thread to post events, so that a handler in the main thread can pick up these events and action them.
