I guess there are really native threads underneath, not just green ones.
They are probably limited in number to make implementation easier but
there is full preemptive multitasking present. it would be kind of hard
to implement some advanced stuff in OS without proper threads.
Also this http://flippinbits.com/twiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowDoICreateAThread
works and it is infinite loop.
BTW, would be nice to see code snippets using undocumented native
threading and synchronization API (Dmitry?) but I know it was hard to
find out. Would be useful for all kinds of hackish stuff (as OS5
evolution is dead end anyway so not much will change in future).
