Multiple threads can share the same code with no problem. You just
need to keep data spaces straight. Any global or static data are shared
by all threads. Automatic data are on the stack and each thread has its
own stack. There's a "thread" (or "_thread") keyword
that produces a
thread-private data store, but I've not used it. Anyway, if your
threads 'share' variables in memory, you may need to serialize access
to these data via the use of mutex semaphores. I glanced at your code
and saw no problems (but I often see no problems w/ my code until I get
it under the debugger :-)
