I've got sbcl/posix threads working pretty well, but I'm trying to figure out some of the details of LW threads. Immediately after spawning a new thread, mp:ps shows it is 'waiting on mailbox'. Is there a simpler way to perhaps interactively get the thread up and running without overhead requirements like setting up a mailbox?

You don't have to set up a mailbox, this is done behind the scenes. I usually just use mp:process-run-function. What is the point? Andreas
