Hi,

I thought I would pass along some good news.  The porters ran with plan B
and so we now have a working green_threads version that can and does run
the JCK to completion without hanging on both x86 and ppc.  We still have
to find and fix all of the errors reported by the JCK, but at least now we
can actually run it.

We still can't quote a date, but now at least we are moving forward again
and can hopefully pass the JCK under green_threads and worry about finding
and fixing the native_threads (linuxthreads?) problems after our initial
releases.

Sorry, I can't provide more info, but rest assured we are all working hard
to get this thing out the door as soon as possible.

I am sure Steve Byrne will let the list and the world know when he is ready
with the x86 release with the other platforms to follow along soon after.
