The Parrot guys are working on it. The _r function calls are reentrant versions of the normal calls. You apparently have to use them on Unixen for thread safety. MS took a different tack--they provided a thread-safe version of their C library. Basically, someone shoved in threading without thinking about how it worked on Windows, which turns out to be rather different from Unixen.
