Well, it looks it works.
At least as REALbasic plugin which single thread strictly.

On some reason, in simplest Carbon Console app it crashes.
And it crashes not in my thread.
Funny is that this console app on default have 5(!!!) threads.
Totte, do you know why ?

And note, Carbon target have sense only if it run on both MAcOS 9 and OS X.
Because do not forget, REALBasic plugin also have Classic version, which run
on MacOS 8 - 9.

What means Macho binaries?!

But in Carbon target you cannot use preemptive threads!
Only in Mach-O targets. So no problems.
