True, this message [1] confirms it (point 6) and since callbacks are 
not executed concurrently by glut there is no need to serialize them 
with enter/leave_block_section(). Apparently [2] 
enter/leave_blocking_section() are mainly used to allow the execution 
of signal callbacks during execution of long running C code that 
doesn't interact with caml code (this means that if I use the lablglut 
bindings, my signal callbacks will never be executed, so I think it 
would be better to use enter/leave_blocking_section() in the bindings 
as depicted in my previous message).

Regarding your problem, maybe glutMainLoop() is doing busy waiting. You 
can try to look into the code [3], glutMainLoop() is implemented in 
file lib/glut/glut_event.c. However this wouldn't explain the fact that 
your program was running well in another version of your system.
