Good thing about userland's threads is that it's easy to debug:
build pth library and your applicarion with '-g' and you'll
get the full picture of what's going on.

The behavouir you described is strange: select is normally
redefined to pth_select and that supposed to take care of swiching
betwean threads. Well, you can post your application here...
