I had a quick look.

Apart from the changes to __scm.h, it looks OK---it's mostly bug
fixes.

However, I'd discourage moving around the old thread switching code
until we have straightened out the details of the new thread support
and signal handling.

It actually looks like you're moving the thread switching code to a
place where scm_ints_disabled can have a different value than now.
I don't have time to verify this, but if that is true, it could cause
strange things to happen to the current COOP threads...

(This applies to the __scm.h patch.)

Please have a look at the thread "plug in" interface in Dirk's code.
