Update and correction;  I wrote the last message too fast.  (And pretty 
much verified Dr. Hipp's views).  libmicrohttpd was likely using "fork" 
when the small demo I setup was borked. Threading will be a deeper 
issue, and will almost always need lock step code to protect shared data 
spaces.

Sorry for any confusion my initial, less than clear message sounded.  
Threads are evil, avoid them.  ;-)
