Marius Gerbershagen cc7c0d4386 multithreading: fix race condition on thread creation
Due to the fact that the thread local environment is allocated with
mmap, the garbage collector is only aware of it after the thread is
listed in cl_core.processes. Therefore, we have to list the thread
before we allocate any memory in its environment. We were doing this
previously, however a bit earlier than needed which had the
unfortunate side effect that not all threads listed in
cl_core.processes had valid environment associated to them. Now, we
delay the listing until immediately before allocating the contents of
environment, ensuring that all listed threads have valid environments.

ECL stands for Embeddable Common-Lisp. The ECL project aims to produce an implementation of the Common-Lisp language which complies to the ANSI X3J13 definition of the language.

The term embeddable refers to the fact that ECL includes a Lisp to C compiler, which produces libraries (static or dynamic) that can be called from C programs. Furthermore, ECL can produce standalone executables from Lisp code and can itself be linked to your programs as a shared library. It also features an interpreter for situations when a C compiler isn't available.

ECL supports the operating systems Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (at least v. 9), Microsoft Windows (MSVC, MinGW and Cygwin) and OSX, running on top of the Intel, Sparc, Alpha, ARM and PowerPC processors. Porting to other architectures should be rather easy.
