  I could not use threads.c because my threads is NOT pthreads. It is
  different processes and shared memory. I need this for caching
  parsed documents in multi-process server.
  Really, it is module for Apache. Works great, when every process
  have cache or caching is turned off.

  I don't use --with-threads because I don't use pthreads.

  I see changes by code in globals.c and threads.c. Threads code is
  pthreads-specific :-(( Library with global variables (or
  thread-specific storages, it is a hack for emulate global variables)
  in year 2000 :-((((
  Search in archive for "threads" doesn't give any good information.
