No, it is merely, well, blocked. But because of unfair work
scheduling, it is getting unblocked for quite some time.
The Guile CVS HEAD version (aka the 1.7 series) has supprt for native
POSIX threads. While threads are in 'Guile mode', they are restricted
to cooperate their use of the global resources (such as the GC), but
they are implemented using the POSIX threading API of the underlying
platform.

Yes, please try the Guile 1.7 series, maybe from
