My filesystem consists of a C library and a Chicken server. The C fuse 
wrapper runs in multi-threaded mode, serializes requests to Chicken and 
waits for replies. The Chicken server spawns separate light-weight 
threads to service each request.

So, in the end, we get both traditional multi-threading and lightweight 
threads under the same roof. I was actually quite excited about this 
part of the design.
