Yes it does!
Thank you so very much!!!!
I can finally go to bed now....

This is how it looks like in the dpr file:

program SerialTest;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

uses
  {$IFDEF UNIX}{$IFDEF UseCThreads}
  cthreads,
  {$ENDIF}{$ENDIF}

I usually always take out the extra ifdef for UseCThreads so it looks
like this:

uses
  {$IFDEF UNIX}
  cthreads,
  {$ENDIF}

But it was forgotten in this test application....

Strange because I have read that cthreads must be first in uses in the
lpr program files in order to make threads work.
How could it work if I add the dependencies, then it would come later
or maybe earlier???

Anyway now working.
THanks again!
