Starting with checkin
http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/info/861e1fd6e9
a --enable-threads build of the core-8-4-branch
hangs in async.test and in the test parse-8.8
because the [testasync] command blocks.
This should be corrected before a final 8.4.20 can
get released.
A simple-minded correction would be to revert this
commit, but you may have a better idea.
Thanks for looking!
Aha. Looks like it's a simple matter of a missing MutexUnlock
call in [testasync create].
Wish they were all that easy. Fixed for 8.4.20.
