As Mike indicated, there are already portions that are thread safe, if used
with caution.

That will be a less than simple task. There has been no prior work done in this
area, so you'll be breaking new ground. One of the biggest problems you will
run into is global variables.

Do you just want the core agent multi-threaded, or were you hoping for all the
mibs to be multi-threaded as well? If you need the mibs multi-threaded as well,
I think you are in for a long, strange trip.

What problem are you trying to solve with multi-threading? There may be an
easier solution (AgentX subagents is a good alternative).

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
