I got it to work, but it required turning off "readline". I guess I
should check the readline library, to see what's blocking. But for
the moment, I got the "find" and the "telnet" demos both working.
I would suspect that there are other demos which would break when run
in a multi-threaded environment. But it looks like it works. I used
the most current FSU pthreads implementation, linked with their
modified malloc, and python 1.0.3.

Wunderbar! I didn't even notice! I'll have to check it out!
Also, are there details of the Python virtual machine written up
somewhere?
