Hi all,

Starting with change 061b8257ab9f, the "auto" tools (Auto Solve Direct, Auto 
Quickcheck, Auto Nitpick, Auto Sledgehammer, and Auto Try) are run in parallel 
rather than sequentially. Their interaction with Proof General is still 
synchronous, but at least they get more work done during those few seconds they 
have at their disposal.

The change relies on "Par_List.get_some", i.e. it uses only user-space ML 
constructs, and Makarius had a look at it already. Nonetheless when I first 
tried it Auto Sledgehammer kept on creating zombie SPASS processes (fixed in 
4b4dfe05b5d7).

Things should be fine now, but should you experience any problems with zombies 
or threads gone awry, chances are that this change is responsible, and you 
should let me know before you waste too much time investigating it yourself.

Thanks for your help.

Jasmin
