[fpc-devel] Re: Multi threading support

[Boian Mitov]

In order to have peace and to make Jonas happy, please all read 
"optimizations" as "unoptimizations" in all my messages to this point. 
Please accept my apologies for using the apparently wrong term when 
describing the problem.

  With best regards,
    Boian Mitov
