You've never asked for help. Which makes you a silly billy, because [...] the rest, there is usually a relatively simple workaround.

Yeah, running into a "panic" at step one with trivial amounts of code makes me shy away from putting my full weight on something. A work-around can be a nice thing. Needing a work-around out of the gate when the code hasn't hardly even started being written is all I need to find a different solution. And you not having noticed me asking for help doesn't actually demonstrate much about how much help I have sought or not.

In 8+ years I've never encountered a deadlock with ithreads.

Yeah. iThreads emulate fork(). You don't get deadlocks with just fork() either. When you tie yourself to a framework like iThreads, that is one of the benefits. But since fork() is so much more efficient in memory and CPU than that emulation of it (and is better supported and less buggy), I use the real thing not the emulation.
