Wish I had the time or the -foo to do the threadstate stuff, but I've
never used a thread in my life.  :-)

And, I'm not in a hurry.  I'm willing to stay on 150 as long as it takes,
since that's working.

What I will do is test whatever you have to test.  If somebody got this
working already, I could try their stuff out.
