[Insight-developers] Mingw and threads

[Bill Lorensen]

Bill,

Back in April 2005, you added code to itkMultithreader.h that limits
the number of threads on mingw to 1. The comment says that mingw
threads cause crashes:

Do you recall the problems that were encountered? I have a mingw build
on my 2 processor laptop that works fine on all tests if I remove the
1 thread restriction.
