Threads for SBCL on FreeBSD

I don’t use FreeBSD anymore, but for some reason, this topic still interests me.

So it brings me great joy to see that NIIMI Satoshi has a patch that adds threading support to SBCL on FreeBSD! I tested it on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE running in Parallels Desktop for Mac, and all tests passed 2 of 3 times. I think this would be a good time for all FreeBSD-using lispers (especially those running it natively) to help us test this change.

Good hunting!
