[Neko] thread problems

[Daniel Turing]

Hi,

i'm having problems with neko threading. The following program:

""
import neko.vm.Thread;
import neko.vm.Lock;

class Test {

        static var foo:Int;
        static var bar:Int;
        static var lock:Lock;

        static function threadFunc() {
                bar = foo;
                neko.Sys.sleep(.001);
                lock.release();
        }

        public static function main() {
                foo=0;
                lock = new Lock();
                
                while( true ) {
                        Thread.create( threadFunc );
                        lock.wait();
                        trace( ""+foo+": "+(foo==bar) );
                        foo++;
                        bar=null;
                        
                        neko.Sys.sleep(.01);
                }
        }
}
""

counts to 380 or 381 on my 32bit machine, then:
Test.hx:23: 381: true
Called from <null> line 1
Called from Test.hx line 21
Called from neko/vm/Thread.hx line 57
Uncaught exception - s...@thread_create


on my 64bit, it's even worse, counting to an unpredictable number and
crashing with:
An exception occured in a neko Thread :
C Stack overflow

(additionally, i cant get me to trust Lock and Mutex on the 64bit, but
no formal tests there (yet))

in vm/threads.c, neko_thread_create, the "tparams p" is allocated on the
stack-- might that be the source of these problems?

help! please.
