I'm still annoyed by the runtime bugs related to ports/threads at work, so I can devote some time to work on it. So far, the pending problems are, in order of importance for me : #1 ports are not thread safe (and any other thread safety issues) ; #2 fork may freeze in some occurrence ; #3 the use of select prevent the extended app to open more than 1024 files ; #4 fork does not close all open files. #5 new syntax definitions are not loaded by compiler for #3, I already have a patch (that I sent here some months ago but was neither rejected nor accepted as far as I know), for #5 there are various easy workarounds, but for other bugs I am still stuck. So, I'm willing to work on those if someone who's already familiar with the runtime can give some guidance.
