I used pth. The README that came with Dillo suggested turning off
threading in Dillo's DNS resolver under BSD. I added a patch to do
that, and it fixed loading pages with http. Unfortunately, it didn't
fix the file:// protocol, which still hangs.

I have heard there are some other POSIX thread implementations which
might work better. Alternatively, someone could hack the Dillo source
to do cooperative threading. However, it might not be worth it; a
quick search on the NetBSD mailing lists shows Perry Metzger saying,
back in September, that kernel-supported POSIX threads "should be done
in the next couple of months."
