You'd have to ask Russ to be sure, but I think it is fixed in
drawterm2k. Isn't there a distributed version that uses pthreads? If
not, it is a relatively trivial amount of work to get the drawterm
threads to run on top of pthreads. I thought that was how the public
version works under FreeBSD and Windows anyway. You can also replace
the pipe-lock hack with sleep/wakeup on top of pthreads, although for
drawterm I doubt the difference would be noticeable. (It is for
things like McIlroy's squint, which is what I use to test my Unix port
of the Plan 9 thread library).
