Of course.

It was Stephan Schimanski's decision; he certainly targeted 8-processor
machines when he was writing the Windows port ;-)
I think that's a good choice; the code is much cleaner and very modular. But
the drawback is the need for proper synchronisation between the threads.
I've attached a fix, tested with demo and test program, your program and
Henrik's Flat program.
