On the other hand, maybe it would now be possible to implement Wine threads on top of regular pthreads; at least some of the inhibitors should be gone now, e.g. you can have thread stacks at arbitrary locations and sizes, and there is no master thread any more ...

It occurs to me that implementing Wine threads on top of pthreads would probably get rid of a few of the problems keeping us from running Wine under Valgrind. Short of getting the Stanford Checker guys interested in the Wine source tree, I can't think of an cooler way to look for stupid memory bugs in Wine... - Dan
