Done:
     *a lot more work done on pthread_eintr (if you need me to explain 
any of the unfinished code, tell me)
Priorities:
     *pthread_eintr needs work (if someone's proficient with valgrind, I 
would appreciate help interpreting the output)
     *...

`to-report` may be uninformative (.git gets in the way), but updated 
pthread_eintr is attached.
P.S. I was offline for a while, and may be in the future.
