I have a libc that's pretty much kernel-agnostic (or maybe it's better
to say agnustic? :) and something like 1/2 to 2/3 the size of uClibc,
but with no pthreads implementation and I'd really rather not have
one, ever. Any chance that mara will someday do recursion without
threads?

(In the mean time I could make an ugly minimal fake thread library to
get maradns to work, but it would be nice not to have to do that.)

Yeah sure, but it took over three years to get there.  And now the
twit is whining about how malloc() is handled.
