Dear fellow Transputoids: :)

	I am in the midst of programming a Transputer based packet routing
switch and am using the infamous 3L Parallel C compiler version 2.1 in
conjunction with Tbug (3L's general purpose debugger) on a B004 board 
connected to 2 B003 boards (all use T414B TRAMs).
	I keep running into problems when using the runtime library with 
multiple threads active. My software uses extensive message passing with
timeouts and extensive dynamic memory allocation/deallocation. Although I use
sema phore locking as described in the manual (ie lock & release "par_sema"
for every call to the runtime lib). I still can't get the software to work
properly!
	Could some person who has experience programming multiple threads
PLEASE help me out, my whole thesis research has stopped due to this problem!
Could it be that there is a bug in the 3L library? Any help/advise in this 
matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
