Hurrah!  I've actually been lurking on the gambit & chicken lists to see if 
anyone would try something like this...

Has anyone used chicken for multiprocessor systems?
I.e. with low-level threading that can take advantage of dual-core systems.
(this could be fun to integrate with Henry Baker's EGAL paper 
(http://home.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/ObjectIdentity.html) and his 
Cheney-on-the-MTA paper that CHICKEN already implements... for certain values 
of "fun" :)

I know multi-core support is one of Erlang's goals for this-coming year, and 
there have been some requests on the Gambit list for this lately, but I haven't 
found too many systems (scheme or otherwise) supporting this "now".
