I think I can, if you tell me what you'd like to be done. Unfortunately,
I am about to take a few days off sometimes soon (it will be the end
of next week), and I will then be traveling so won't have time for it
before the end of January.

It's up to you: If you'd like to do it, then please do, my traveling
in effect gives you the two weeks. Otherwise, you can leave it to me.
I'm a bit concerned that I have a track record to forget things and
never pick them up for a long time when I am forced to leave them....
(work pressure). You don't have to, but you can nag me.

BTW: You didn't tell me whether I was on the right track or not...
target-vector handling is something relatively new to me, believe
it or not, so I had to study it a bit.

Would you also recommend one thread-support code that follows
the current standards? I agree that sol-threads could use a good
cleanup, and I am interested in doing it. I think we should be
able to get rid of things like:

extern int procfs_suppress_run;

at the very least.

Thanks,
