I have committed an updated version of the patch to CL+SSL CVS now.

This version works now because it avoids use of buggy code in the
bordeaux-threads backend for SBCL.

It passes ab testing on SBCL for me; I haven't rechecked other Lisps
yet.

If anyone is interested in developing a C version, let's move to that
ultimately.  But I've decided to commit the Lisp version for now,
because I think that correctness should come before performance in this
case.
