Every call to Function.execute() will run in the invoking thread, so unless the
invoked call path explicitly spawns a new thread, there should only be as many
threads present as you are invoking.  LispThread is essentially a wrapper
around a JVM thread that maintains a multi-threaded consistent view of the
singleton Lisp environment as that JVM thread executes Lisp code. 

As for “catch the result”:  do you just mean act on the return value, or are
you using a Java catch clause?

Any chance you can put the source up publicly for me to have a shot at running it?
