The TIMESUP stuff is relatively easy, hopefully I'll have time to do that work tonight. The locks not being portable is a big PITA to fix. I have a proposed solution that nobody has commented on yet. I am also very concerned that there are a lot more of these types of issues just waiting to bite us, because our test suite just doesn't do it's job currently. But, I am willing to release as long as everybody understands that we may be forced to explode our API to fix the problems with APIs that just don't work cross-platform. Ryan
