in reply to fork system() STDOUT redirection on WindowsXP

Wasn't Perl's threads implementation worked up somewhat from 5.6.1 to 5.8.0 with the introduction of the threads pragma (as opposed to the Thread module and related)? Might this be a source of backwards incompatibility instead of (or in addition to) PerlIO?

    It is not clear to me how much fork implementation on Windows depends on the Thread module.
