Changes for version 6.06 - 2011-08-08

  • cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads backend, which is an order of magnitutde slower. unfortunately, cygwins pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack twice just to be sure. (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS, in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for even better performance...).
