threads on inmos transputers didn't share memory. the threads
were scheduled by the processor itself (zero context-switch time,
which was nice), but could just as easily
be on separate processors - the code couldn't tell (apart from
the fact that there were only four channels out of each processor)
i don't *think* you could pass shared references around, but
it was a long time ago.
