Threads are a highly experimental feature, and not (yet) supported.
5.005-like-threading (which is used in 5.6) will break gimp and other

I'll try to detect that in future versions, but it will not be perfect
(it's very system-specific).

I hope not. People enabling threads despite the BIG WARNINGS should know
what they do ;)
