I don't use the software so I don't have access to the source code. If you can provide snippets of the source that are in question more people would be able to comment on it. the bug report suggests it "sounds like something to do with threading" and someone else jumps to the conclusion "sounds like a threading bug in OpenBSD's pthread implementation". Brilliant! This may very well be so, but i failed to see any evidence offered to support this in the bug report. It would help if snippets of the source code were provided that show how the two threads communicate with one another. --patrick p.s., rant: personally i don't even understand why anyone would have a need for a file-manager type app in a unix environment. but that is besides the point
