Thanks for your patches.

I did not take them over litterally because I worked on S-SYSDEPS  
just yesterday,
and already added some sbcl specific code contributed by others to  
other projects.

You didn't use the name argument when creating a new process.
You are using a different locking primitive (with-mutex vs with- 
recursive-lock), which is the right one ?

Thanks for the testing and feedback,

Sven
