im pretty sure you need mutexes. its pretty easy though...
Are you saying this because you know (critical-section) behaviour is no
longer available in the Chicken runtime?
yes, im aware of it, and yes, this is how ive coped with it.
Note that (critical-section) is not a mutex-synchronizing form: it suspends
timer interrupts until the body is evaluated (i.e. you are guaranteed that
no other threads are executing during the evaluation of the body).
see above. since the disable-timer-interrupts declares arent there anymore,
ive faked it with mutex sections.
(define-macro (protect-section ml . body)

I'd recommend using the excellent (synch) egg rather than writing a custom
mutex-handler.
eh, its a very small number of lines and it doesnt have dependencies.
